Application for Staff Positions on
University Presidential Charter Committees 
2020-2023 Terms*

Presidential Charter committees play an important role in the shared governance of our University, as well as meeting the goals of the UI Strategic Plan.  Charter committees were established in an effort to assure that University-wide services and activities are carried out in the best interests of the UI community.  

Their general responsibility is twofold: 1) to recommend and to advise on the formulation of University policy, and 2) to assist in the interpretation of University policies to their respective constituencies. 

Please consider playing a critical role in the shared governance of the University of Iowa by applying today. All full-time or part-time UI staff members are eligible to serve on these committees. You can apply for more than one committee.

*Committee terms are three-year appointments from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2023 with the exception of the Presidential Committee on Athletics, which is a five-year term from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2025.

Information on the charter committees can be found here: http://president.uiowa.edu/about-university/charter-committees
