| Mississippi Association of Staff Council Organizations (MASCO)
was formed in 1989 to provide leadership and representation
for the nearly 15,000 staff members employed at the eight institutions
of higher learning in Mississippi.
MASCO is not a union, but rather a board of directors comprised
of each university’s staff council president or chair.
The board’s chairperson serves a term of one year and
is selected by alphabetical rotation.
The primary functions of MASCO are to promote interaction
between staffs at all state institutions of higher learning
in Mississippi and to enhance communication between the staff
and the Council of University Presidents about issues of
mutual concern.
MASCO functions as a channel of communication between the
various university staff councils, their recognized counterparts,
and university faculty senate/councils. MASCO is also responsible
for considering issues of mutual concern and making recommendations
to the Council of Presidents when appropriate. |
