Mission
The UNC-Chapel Hill Employee Forum is an organization of SHRA and EHRA non-faculty employees (“staff”) elected by their peers. The Forum’s mission is to advocate for and constructively address the challenges, needs, and opportunities of UNC-Chapel Hill staff. The Forum:
- Seeks out the issues, interests, ideas, and participation of UNC-Chapel Hill staff;
- Develops and presents proactive, progressive recommendations to the UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor and their designee(s) advising them on how to respond to issues impacting UNC-Chapel Hill staff;
- Actively advocates for the UNC-Chapel Hill administration to implement the Forum’s recommendations;
- Communicates effectively with all levels of UNC-Chapel Hill staff and administration;
- Fosters an open and positive environment throughout the UNC-Chapel Hill community; and
- Supports UNC-Chapel Hill’s mission of teaching, research, and public service.
Vision
The Employee Forum seeks to continually improve the quality of life of UNC-Chapel Hill staff, faculty, and students through mutual understanding, recognition of employee contributions, and respect for the worth of the individual.
Monthly Meeting Date/Time
Employee Forum full body meetings were typically held the first Wednesday of the month (unless a holiday fell on that week) via Zoom from 9:15-11:30 am. Employee Forum Executive Committee meetings were typically held on the third Tuesday of the month via Zoom from 11:30 am-1:30 pm.

Report of 23-24 Activities
- Many of the Employee Forum’s efforts this year spoke directly to the strategic initiatives of Carolina Next, as well as Chancellor Roberts’ four new working groups. In particular, we were strong contributors to the following strategic initiatives:
- Build Our Community Together – the Employee Forum focused on several advocacy initiatives this year centered around promoting belonging for all staff at UNC, including:
- We continued to advocate for our fellow staff in the Housekeeping Department, who continue to face extensive recruitment and retention challenges, furthering our efforts in the last few years outlined in Resolution 22-02.
- Our Personnel issues Committee dedicated time and attention to affordable housing, pay band structures and associated issues, changes to the EHRA classification system, and the upcoming conversion of the State Health Plan TPA from Blue Cross Blue Shield to Aetna.
- Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee advocated for Juneteenth to be designated an official University holiday. They also had representation on the University’s wellbeing days review committee and sought to continue their advocacy around accessibility.
- Enable Career Development – Our Education and Career Development Committee administered our Professional Development grants to staff across campus, giving out over $11,000 in grants during the 23-24 academic year.
- Promote Democracy – We continually serve as a vehicle for staff to engage in respectful dialogue, facilitating honest, frank discussion on major campus and public issues.
- Serve to Benefit Society – Our Community Service Committee supported various local charities, hosted the bi-annual Carolina Blood Drive, and continued our long-standing partnership with the Carolina Community Garden.
- Optimize Operations – Every five years, Transportation and Parking partners with campus representatives on the Advisory Committee on Transportation and Parking (ACT). Chair Katie Musgrove and Vice Chair Keith Hines served on ACT in the 23-24 academic year, helping to develop a new five-year plan that:
- Engages with the University community through outreach efforts
- Evaluates existing operations and technology and identify efficiencies and opportunities
- Develops strategies to address University and UNC Health development and programmatic growth
- Ensures that necessary revenue is in place to support the existing and near-term transportation system costs
- Chancellors’ Generative AI Working Group – Employee Forum delegates gave feedback to the Provost regarding his office’s Generative AI Committee, noting the gap in providing faculty and student guidance on proper use of this technology, but not providing similar feedback for staff. We were invited to help form a staff subcommittee of the wider Generative AI committee to develop that guidance for staff. This subcommittee developed said guidance and advertised trainings for staff on ethical and proper use of this emerging technology. The Forum then also was granted a representative to serve on the wider Chancellors’ Generative AI Working Group that is taking the work done in the Provost’s Office forward.
- Build Our Community Together – the Employee Forum focused on several advocacy initiatives this year centered around promoting belonging for all staff at UNC, including:
- Other Activities in 23-24:
-
- The Employee Forum participated in campus searches for the following senior campus leader positions:
- AVC of Facilities
- Chancellor
- New Dean Orientation Participation
- The Employee Forum was invited to present at the New Deans Orientation held to onboard new campus leaders at Carolina. Chair Katie Musgrove and Vice Chair Keith Hines presented an overview of the Employee Forum to showcase who we are and what we do for staff across campus.
- Vice Chancellor’s Representative Meetings
- Every other month the Employee Forum hosted a meeting with Vice Chancellors or their representatives (VC Reps). The VC Reps meetings were a way for Forum delegates to raise questions and issues directly with university administration. Attendees submitted questions prior to the meeting to give the appropriate vice chancellor the opportunity gather the needed information in order to adequately answer the question. The platform also allowed a space for vice chancellors and other senior university leaders to seek the help of the Employee Forum with various initiatives and projects.
- STACC Meetings
- Chancellor Roberts and Chair Katie Musgrove worked together to revise the format, makeup, and agenda setting process of the Staff Advisory Committee to the Chancellor (STACC). These revisions were meant to ensure that STACC serves in an advisory capacity to the Chancellor and gets staff feedback on issues important to him and his team.
- Staff Assembly Advocacy
- Collaboration continues between the UNC-Chapel Hill Employee Forum and the UNC System Staff Assembly. It is here that staff from all 17 UNC System institutions come together to advocate on behalf of over 35,000 staff across the UNC System. The immediate past chair of our UNC-Chapel Hill Employee Forum, Shayna Hill, is the Chair of the UNC System Staff Assembly. We are very lucky to have her voice advocating to President Hans on behalf of UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC System staff.
- Board of Trustees/University Day Remarks
- The Chair of the Employee Forum was invited to provide remarks to the Board of Trustees University Affairs Committee three times in the 23-24 academic year (in July, November, and March). The Chair also delivered remarks on behalf of the staff at the University Day celebration in October (pre-recorded video montage), while also presenting the Rebecca Clark Staff Award for Moral Courage during the ceremony. Remarks in these settings highlighted the many staff contributions at Carolina.
- University Managers Association (UMA) Merger
- Due to transitions in UMA’s leadership, the decision was made to merge UMA into the Employee Forum. This merger ensured that UMA’s professional development programming, notable annual awards, and overall mission of supporting managers and leadership will continue under the auspices of the larger, more resilient Employee Forum.
- Bylaws Revisions
- The Employee Forum underwent some significant bylaws revisions that aimed to create a Chair-elect system, revise our Staff Assembly election procedure, and clean up a few other things in our electoral process.
- The Employee Forum participated in campus searches for the following senior campus leader positions:
List of 23-24 Resolutions/Proclamations Passed
- Proclamation 23-02 Concerning International Housekeepers Week
- Resolution 24-01 Honoring Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz
- Resolution 24-02 Concerning Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment

We operate under the principle that equity means leveling the playing field by providing resources and opportunities for underrepresented groups, with the understanding that creating equity allows everyone an opportunity to have a seat at the table, which promotes inclusion.

The committee develops professional development programming for staff across the University to enhance leadership skills, foster strategic thinking, and cultivate a culture of innovation and collaboration.

- Adding more preventative mental health resources for the campus community
- More universal/required annual training around active shooters on campus
- Development and implementation of a more cohesive emergency response plan that is equitable across faculty, staff, and students in all different areas of campus
- Concerns around what ‘safety’ really means and whether the actions we are taking are truly making our campus more ‘safe’
- Massive increase in surveillance on campus after the protests in the spring made many feel less safe
- Need transparency around how campus safety uses the data from these surveillance methods in their work
- Continual evaluation to ensure security improvements made are accessible
- Improvements to Alert Carolina system communications during emergency situations
- Issues around working expectations via condition status for these incidents for remote employees (need more standard language/policy around this policy given the new hybrid work structure we live in)
- Inclusion of more boots on the ground staff in these discussions around campus safety
- Increase of political influence and interference with the University’s operations and mission
- Concerns around lack of guidance on the UNC System’s new policy around DEI and what it means for staff who work in these areas
Goals/Projects for 2024-2025
- Making the Employee Forum delegates more accessible across campus via town halls, coffee hours, and other events to better hear from our constituents
- Establishing a strong relationship with our next permanent Chancellor once they are named
- Continued evaluation of how the recent DEI decisions by the Supreme Court and subsequent policies implemented throughout the UNC System (and here at Carolina) are affecting staff,
- Specifically whether there has been an increase or decrease in the number of jobs, and if a decrease is observed, what will happen to the affected staff—will their positions be consolidated into other roles, or will they face termination?
- Also how is this decision consistent with our stated mission, values, etc.
- Look at efficiency/workload/staffing patterns that are resulting in decreases in workforce and increases in burnout of existing staff
- Also looking at the continued conversion of more positions from SHRA to EHRA Non-Faculty
- Specifics: UNC Healthcare, Grounds/Facilities,
- Looking at the hybrid work policies implemented during COVID and their future implementation and impact on the workforce
- Review the revised wellbeing day policy and communicate it widely with the campus community
- Continue looking into affordable housing initiatives in Chapel Hill for staff and others in our campus community
- Working with the administration to ensure a smooth rollout of the new healthcare administrator, Aetna
- Ensure the new Transportation and Parking five-year plan gets communicated widely and effectively to the campus community
- Continue publicizing resources, discounts, and opportunities to staff and the wider campus community
