Agnes Scott College Staff Council

Agnes Scott College Staff Council Bylaws 
Approved by Council September 4, 2008 
Amendments: February 4, 2010; April, 2011; June 2014; July 2015, March 2017 
 
Mission Statement & Goals: 
The Agnes Scott College Staff Council fosters a positive work environment by acting as the 
voice of the Agnes Scott staff as a whole, facilitating communication among staff and between 
staff and other campus constituencies, providing guidance for college officers, the president, and 
the Board of Trustees related to all staff issues, assessing and interpreting workplace 
environment and campus culture from the staff perspective, fostering community within and 
across departments and offices, and promoting living honorably in support of the college 
mission. 
 
The Staff Council achieves these goals by: 
● holding regular open meetings with all staff; 
● conducting periodic surveys of staff members; 
● reviewing and acting on open and anonymous emails sent to the council by staff members; 
● advising on staff representation on college committees; 
● attending committee meetings and reporting information to all staff members; 
● providing opportunities for social interactions on a regular basis 
● welcoming new employees in various ways 
 
I. Membership, Structure, and Roles 
 
All full-time and part-time staff members of Agnes Scott College who have been employed by 
the college for at least one year are eligible to serve on Staff  Council. Terms run from May 1 to 
April 30 of the following year. Terms are for two years and positions will be staggered relatively 
evenly so that about half the Council rotates off each year. Members may serve up to three 
consecutive 2-year terms. A year hiatus is required before re-election to a new term cycle.  
 
Council members may be re-elected for another 2-year term or rotate off after the first term.  If a 
member is elected as chair-elect during their second year, they will automatically be reinstated. 
 
The nomination roster will indicate new and returning Staff Council members. If the number of 
nominations from the community is fewer than slots to be filled, members may put their names 
in for re-nomination at the end of their first term.  
 
In the event there are fewer nominations than slots to be filled, Staff Council will function as a 
smaller body through the summer months, with a second call for nominations at the start of the 
academic year (ordinarily in August). 
 
Although membership on the council itself is limited to those staff members who win elections, 
any staff member may participate in the activities of the council through communicating with the 
council during the year or in periodic open staff meetings. Any staff member may present an 
issue before the council by requesting placement on the agenda of an upcoming meeting. 
 
The Staff Council (SC) comprises the following positions and responsibilities:  
 
Staff Council Chair 
● Chairs SC meetings 
● Represents the SC on SPAC/BOT main committees & presents to said committees 
● Acts as the main “Go-To” person for staff-related matters 
 
Secretary 
● Creates agenda for SC meetings 
● Schedules and coordinates meeting days and times with SC members 
● Keeps minutes at SC meetings and records of SC activities, communications, and surveys 
● Posts minutes to shared space 
 
Treasurer 
● Keeps track of SC budget 
● Handles reimbursements and budgetary paperwork 
● Coordinates SC elections 
 
Communication Chair 
● Receives feedback/requests from ASC staff over email or in person  
● Coordinates non-SC staff member presentations at SC meetings  
● Maintains the SC website 
 
Committees Chair 
● Coordinates which college committees need staff representation 
● Consults with full SC to assign SC members to college committees    
● Represents the SC at Faculty meetings  
 
New Employee Chair 
● Coordinates with Dir. of HR to keep track of when new employees arrive 
● Presents at New Employee Orientation 
 
Social Chair 
● Coordinates social activities of the SC 
● Is the main SC contact for college-wide social activities in which staff are involved 
 
Members at Large 
● Represent Unionized and New Employees 
● Duties as requested by other chairs/members 
 
Director of Human Resources (ex officio) 
● Ensures that SC activity conforms with college standards & practices 
● Advises SC on new HR developments 
 
The council may establish subcommittees as the need arises.  Subcommittees should be directed 
in their work by a charge from the SC and will be expected to report back to the SC.  The SC 
will report on the work of the subcommittee to the appropriate administrative bodies. 
 
II. Elections 
 
Elections will be held each year in April.  Nominations may be submitted to the Treasurer and 
will be accepted during the month of April.  Nominees will be contacted to see if they are willing 
to serve. Those willing will be placed on a ballot of candidates and elections will be held over a 
three day period, Tuesday—Thursday in the second week of April. 
 
Means of election will be via a link to an online survey, sent by email.  In addition, a computer 
will be made available in Evans Dining Hall throughout lunch during the three-day election 
period with a Staff Council member available, if necessary, to assist employees who wish to vote 
over their lunch period. 
 
Nominations and elections to fill vacancies resulting from resignations during the year will take 
place during the annual election process or representatives may be appointed at the council’s 
discretion to serve the balance of the term.  First consideration for replacement appointments will 
be given to staff who were previous nominees. The membership rules described in Section I will 
apply. 
 
After elections, the SC meeting the following month will include both outgoing and incoming 
members to facilitate transitions. 
 
III. Meetings and Procedures 
 
The Council will meet at least once monthly, with the option to call additional meetings as 
necessary.  The general orders of business will be:  
 
● Approval of the minutes of the previous meeting. 
● Follow-up on old business. 
● Updates from each chair 
● New business requiring action of the council. 
● Open discussion of additional items or concerns. 
 
All members are expected to attend the monthly meetings. After three absences, the chair will 
have a meeting with the member to assess continued interest in serving. 
 
For items requiring a vote, a quorum will consist of a simple majority of SC members. 
 
Minutes of Staff Council meetings will be posted after they have been approved by the council. 
 
The council will meet in an open forum with the entire staff at least once a semester to allow 
open conversations on issues of concern. The Council has an obligation to report regularly to the 
staff as a whole on the work of the council and to actively solicit the opinions and concerns of 
the entire staff population.   
 
The Council may convene a meeting with the entire staff at any time circumstances warrant such 
a meeting. 
 
Special meetings of Staff Council may be called by the chair to consider matters of immediate 
importance.  However, at least two-thirds of the council must be present to vote on any issue at 
such a meeting. 
 
These bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the council.  However, 
amendments may only be considered after notice of possible changes has been published in an 
agenda provided to Council members 24 hours prior to the meeting. 
 
IV. Budget 
 
The SC budget is provided by the President’s Office. Funds are used for: 
● Special events 
● New Employee outreach 
● Community building 
● Other needs 
 
The Director of HR is the designated Budget Manager.

Wordmark. Our wordmark 
uses a classic serif font to present 
Agnes Scott as a solid, serious 
institution. The all-caps typeface 
with the extended crossbar of the G 
in “Agnes” and missing serifs of the 
T’s in “Scott” makes the wordmark 
distinctive and proprietary. 
Icon. Our symbol 
is an abstract Gothic 
window. Giving this 
iconic campus feature a 
more unconventional and 
minimalist style portrays 
Agnes Scott as progressive 
while acknowledging our 
traditional heritage.

Options. Depending

Configurations. The college recognizes the 
need for various units to be identified and has thus created 
guidelines for incorporating the names of academic 
departments, administrative offices, centers and programs 
into the Agnes Scott sub-brand wordmark. Similar to the 
institutional logo, the sub-brand offers horizontal and vertical 
layouts, giving the user greater flexibility in usage.
To ensure consistency in the creation of these custom 
wordmarks, you should request an Agnes Scott wordmark for 
your unit by emailing a request to brand@agnesscott.edu.

Brand Guidelines

Guidelines For On-Campus Internships 
Internships are invaluable to our students. Employer surveys consistently indicate applied learning 
through internships as one of the top things considered on candidate resumes for entry-level 
jobs. For the purposes of providing academic credit for an internship, students are encouraged to seek 
an off-campus experience. In general, employers value the transferable skills of an off-campus 
internship more highly than one that is on-campus. 
By definition, an internship needs to: 
• Reinforce and deepen the learning associated with the student’s academic major and coursework 
• Align with an area of career interest for the student 
• Build transferable professional and/or industry skills related to the student’s academic and career 
goals 
• Meet the number of hours associated with academic credit guidelines 
There are times when an on-campus internship can be considered for academic credit. If the internship 
offers a unique and career-relevant experience that the student can not easily receive off-campus, such as: 
• Dalton Gallery 
• Environmental/Sustainability audits, LEED certification, etc. 
• HR Wellness and Operations program support 
The Office of Internship and Career Development encourages departments to consider the 
following guidelines for structuring internships for approval for academic credit: 
• Clearly defined job description with a staff or faculty internship supervisor that is NOT the same 
person as the faculty sponsor for the academic component.                 
o The Internship Supervisor oversees the internship work providing management of tasks and 
regular feedback to the student (weekly briefings, etc.) 
o The Faculty Sponsor oversees the academic component, creates and grades assignments, and 
provides final course (or 450) grade. 
• Defined projects and/or outcomes that are distinct from ongoing work-study, student assistant roles 
• Project and work that reinforce student academic and career goals 
• Adherence to college policies and federal guidelines on hours worked and intern pay 
• Approval for credit by the Faculty Sponsor and the Director of Internship and Career Development
