Nominations for the union staff representative position on the university’s Police Department Oversight Committee are open through June 15.

Nominations are open for staff members in the AFSCME, HOA, IUOE, MNA/UMPNC, SEIU, Skilled Trades, UMMAP and UPAMM unions.

The Police Department Oversight Committee considers grievances against any police officer or the U-M Police Department. It reports its findings and recommendations to the executive director of the Division of Public Safety and Security.

The six-member committee includes two student members, two faculty members (one Senate faculty and one non-Senate faculty), and two staff members (one union and one non-union representative), who are nominated and elected by their peers to serve two-year terms. University Human Resources is conducting this election July 7-14.

Members of the AFSCME, HOA, IUOE, MNA/UMPNC, SEIU, Skilled Trades, UMMAP and UPAMM unions may nominate themselves or another union staff member to serve on the committee for a two-year term beginning in July 28.

Nominations will be accepted at hr.umich.edu/union-staff-pdoc-nominations. More information on the Police Department Oversight Committee is available at hr.umich.edu/pdoc.
