In 2024, the Staff Council bylaws were amended to include Research Faculty as part of Staff Council. The Research Faculty Committee is a special committee that was created in 2025 for the following purpose:  

• Enhance outreach and education efforts about Staff Council with Research Faculty, particularly through translating Staff Council and standing committee efforts for Research Faculty constituents.
• Provide understanding and perspective on CU Boulder policies, procedures, and funding of Research Faculty for Staff Council members.
• Promote and advocate for equitable and proportional representation of Research Faculty as elected or appointed representatives on Staff Council. 
• Support the implementation and evaluate the effectiveness of the Research Faculty special committee.

Their meetings will be held the first wednesday of each month 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
