The SOFAS is a codified officer of the University (UWGB 50.03) appointed by the Chancellor with the concurrence of the University Committee, and responsible to the Provost in the performance of his or her duties. Originally called Secretary of the Faculty, the name was changed in 1993 to reflect the shared responsibilities of Faculty and Academic Staff in campus governance and in the education of our students. In 2014, when the Classified Staff were recognized as the University Staff and joined in the responsibilities of shared campus governance, the position name was changed to Secretary of the Faculty and Staff.
