Academic Staff Steering COMMITTEE

The purpose of the Academic Staff Steering Committee (ASSC) is to promote the interests of higher education and to advance standards, ideals and welfare of the academic staff of Wayne State University (see bylaws page).

All Academic Staff who are members of the AAUP-AFT at Wayne State University are members of the ASSC. The leadership of the ASSC is elected annually by the academic staff who are members of the AAUP-AFT. 

2023-2024 ASSC leaders are:

Chair: Mickayla Chapman, Academic Services Officer II
Co-Chair: Chelsea Smith, Academic Services Officer III
Secretary: Mike Dutkewych, Academic Services Officer II
Member-at-Large: Amber Harrison,  Academic Services Officer I
Member-at-Large:  KaRie Jorah, Academic Services Officer I 

The Academic Staff Steering Committee hosts a terrific series of luncheon meetings about topics like ESS, Promotion, Annual Reviews, Professional Records, and service opportunities. Through these luncheons, the ASSC has developed documents to better assist academic staff and their units.
