SAC History

1

SAC’s early history started with the opening of the
UIC campus in February 1965. The Chicago Circle
Employees’ Council was composed of
nonacademic employee representatives elected
from the following occupational groups:
administrative and supervisory; clerical; laboratory,
technical, stores and attendants; operations and
maintenance; and food service.

In 1984, with the merging of UIMC and UIC, the Nonacademic Employee’s Council of each campus merged and became the Staff Advisory Council.  The purpose of the SAC is to represent the interests of UIC civil service employees to campus administrators and to advise the University administration regarding the formation and implementation of policies related to civil service personnel.

The Chicago Circle Employee’s Council was composed of nonacademic employee representatives elected from the following occupational groups: administrative and supervisory; clerical; laboratory, technical, stores and attendants; operations and maintenance; and food service. The main objective of the council were to consider nonacademic employee problems and suggestions, and to make recommendations to the Director of Personnel Services or to the Chicago Circle member of the Civil Service Advisory Committee to the Merit Board, or to the advisory Committee to the Retirement System.
