About FASA
FASA focuses on advancing and nurturing an institutional culture that supports both the individual professional aspirations of faculty and academic staff and the collective mission and values of the university. To accomplish this mission, which is closely aligned with and in support of MSU’s Strategic Plan, FASA focuses its work on addressing several key areas (which are closely related and interwoven):
- Policies, Resources, and Processes that relate to Faculty and Academic Staff and their Work;
- Academic Leadership, Faculty, and Academic Staff Employment Processes (searches, academic labor bargaining, evaluation, career progress, salary);
- FAS Performance, Conduct, and Compliance
- Professional and Leadership Development for FAS Success
- Organizational Development and Culture Building
- Liaison Work and Relationship Building
The Faculty and Academic Staff Affairs team works closely with MSU Human Resources on issues that are cross-cutting for faculty, academic staff, and University support staff, e.g. records, employee benefits, etc.
