What is CASI?
CASI is the acronym for Committee on Academic Staff Issues. The Academic Staff Assembly at its January 12, 1998 meeting passed Academic Staff Document #210, titled “School, College and Division Committees on Academic Staff Issues (CASI)”. This document calls for each school, college, or division of the University of Wisconsin-Madison to establish a committee to advise the Dean or Director on issues pertaining to or affecting academic staff members in that unit. The CoE’s CASI officially met for the first time on November 21, 2000. CASI is chaired by the CoE Dean, has five elected academic staff positions and two positions appointed by the Dean. The CASI bylaws provide a detailed description of CASI’s mission, procedures, and structure (http://www.engr.wisc.edu/staff/casi/bl.html).
