Student Affairs Committee (SAC)

The Student Affairs Committee seeks to identify and remove impediments to the success and well-being of all students at the University of baby直播app Boulder, to foster a sense of belonging among CU students and to encourage their involvement in and commitment to our campus community, to promote baby直播app accountability for the development and welfare of our students, and to create partnerships with key administrative, baby直播app, and student stakeholders on campus and to work collaboratively across lines of difference to institute meaningful reform.

To these ends, the Student Affairs Committee champions the collective interests, rights, and welfare of all CU-Boulder students鈥攕triving to enhance all aspects of the undergraduate and graduate experience,and to promote the academic success and the personal and professional development of our students. Accordingly, the issues that fall within the purview of SAC are quite broad, not the least of which include

  • ensuring safe and respectful learning environments for students,
  • supporting efforts toward inclusive excellence and protecting the interests and opportunities of underrepresented, minority, and at-risk student populations,
  • promoting baby直播app accountability and best pedagogical practices,
  • safeguarding the mental health and wellness of CU students,
  • striving to improve career and placement services, and
  • working to reduce the financial burdens students bear attending CU and living in the Boulder area.

Given the complexity of these issue-areas, SAC works collaboratively with diverse administrative offices, including the Office of Undergraduate Education, the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Faculty Affairs, and the Graduate School, as well as myriad baby直播app, student, and administrative stakeholders鈥攕uch as the BFA Academic Affairs, Diversity, and Faculty Affairs committees, CUSG and UGGS, and Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution, Disability Services, Health and Wellness Services, and the Graduate Teacher Program.

In addition to elected seats held by its voting members, SAC also consists in baby直播app resource members and administrative liaisons, who serve invaluable (non-voting) advisory roles. While the involvement of baby直播app resource members may be more intermittent and temporary, depending on the needs and agenda of SAC, the consistent involvement of administrative liaisons鈥攚ho bring their expertise and institutional knowledge to bear on the issues SAC engages鈥攊s essential to the direction and success of our Committee. Consequently, SAC affords permanent administrative liaison positions to the Office of Undergraduate Education, the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Graduate School, Disability Services, Health and Wellness Services, University of baby直播app Student Government, and United Government of Graduate Students. This list of relevant stakeholders, which SAC should seek the consistent involvement of, is not exhaustive and should be regularly augmented to include those offices and organizations that would better enable SAC to serve its purpose
