Why do faculty and staff signers have to register their organizations in the faculty/staff category?
Although we will continue to register faculty/staff groups, we are dedicated to meet our mission of providing “services, programs, and facilities to enhance the quality of education by extending the learning environment beyond the classroom and into the co-curricular lives of UCI students.” By allowing only students to be signers for student groups, we can ensure that student organizations receive the benefits of advising, reserving space in the Student Center, and the opportunity to apply for funding from student organization funding boards. We also hope that faculty/staff organizations can be clearly distinguished from student organizations in our “search” system so that interested faculty and staff can find such organizations.
