  • As directed, research the history and purpose of policies, and their impact upon students.

  • Provide information about University and Governmental policies, procedures, practices, documents, services, programs, and any other information as requested.

  • Provide support as outlined above to other members of the UASU Executive Committee as assigned by the DRA or Executive Committee.

  • Attend internal and external meetings as requested by the DRA or Executive Committee.

  • Submit a final report to the DRA or Executive Committee.

  • Other related duties as requested by the DRA or Executive Committee.
