The Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA) is an organization made up of policy covered staff members from across the UC system. CUCSA’s purpose is to advocate on behalf of policy-covered staff members with focus areas of total compensation, staff engagement, and workforce sustainability. More information on CUCSA’s structure can be found from our ‘About’ page.
While CUCSA works on a number of initiatives, the primary deliverables come from internal workgroups. Each year, CUCSA delegates are assigned to workgroups, each of which is charged with researching a topical area and delivering recommendations to UC administration. The 2026-2027 workgroups are:
- Engagement & Stragegy
- Staff Recognition
More information about each workgroup can be found on our Current Workgroups page. Summaries of other CUCSA work can be found on the Projects page.
