Unit Representatives

Responsibilities: The Unit Representatives serve to represent the faculty of their unit to the Executive Committee and to Meet and Confer. The Unit Representatives meet collectively to discuss best practices in use in the units, issues that are common among the units, and issues that may be unique to an individual unit. Unit Representatives also serve as a resource for individual faculty to address many types of workplace issues. The Unit Representatives meet as a group to serve as a point of shared knowledge for individual unit representatives to assist in addressing specific issues. Individual Units Representatives represent the interests of their college/unit at FA executive meetings and Meet and Confer. They should communicate relevant issues back to the college/unit faculty and serve as a resource in helping departments understand and interpret the MinnState/IFO agreement. They also serve as a point of first contact for faculty members when questions or concerns arise. Unit representatives may go to college leadership meetings as appropriate.

Time commitment: The Faculty Association Executive Committee and the Meet and Confer meetings occur about once per month for two hours each. Unit Representatives should expect to spend an additional 10 hours per month on various activities.
