Now recognized as the Towson University Staff Senate (TUSS), our roots go back to 1993, when as a result of strong campus-wide interest, the Staff Council was formed by the president. Initially formed to serve as an advisory body to the president's staff on non-faculty matters, the Senate is now a recognized shared governance body of the university that offers all staff employees an opportunity to express ideas and concerns and provides a means for assessing campus opinion on important staff issues. It further means to act as a communication channel between the president and the university staff, and to advise on matters relating to staff, the work environment, and the general welfare of the university as a whole.
