Professional Research Assistant (PRA) and Research Associate (RA) Expansion
The University of Colorado Staff Council is pleased to announce we have expanded our representation to include Professional Research Assistants (PRAs) and Research Associates (RAs). This development marks a significant step towards ensuring the voices and concerns of PRAs and RAs are effectively heard and addressed by university leadership. 听
At the beginning of 2023, Staff Council convened an exploratory committee to examine the feasibility and benefits of including these populations within its representative body. The committee conducted in-depth discussions and round table sessions with PRAs and RAs to understand their priorities, issues, and aspirations within the university community. 听The discussions revealed a strong alignment between the priorities and issues of PRAs, RAs, and university staff.
