Based on research by Maureen Kelly this is what we had as of 9/18/13:
Current link from "Staff" has a fairly prominent clickable link but it's only recognizable if you know that the logo stands for UT Staff Council.
There is also a link under the "Getting involved" section; we're actually first, but it's well down the page.

Suggestions?
perhaps link to UT's employee discount page: http://www.utexas.edu/hr/edp/
Two separate FAQs; one like the current one which is about how UTSC works (representation, elections, etc...) and one for truly "Frequently asked questions" such as issues that come up over and over and have previously been the subject of UTSC research and action.
Maybe some sort of "News you can use" page?
"What we are working on..."
Need to include timestamp or valid year/date on lists of members/chairs/committees etc... (see erika's email below).
Examples:
- Rec Sports discount for staff.
- Domestic Partner benefits.
- Pay raises.
- Staff Ed Benefit.
- Tuition break for Staff dependents.
- Parking and Transportation-I know one thing that always strikes a responsive chord in staff is the discussions about current negotiations with Cap Metro et al on current and future service (hours, routes) and recently the discussion with respect to free staff usage of cap metro routes.
also...
perhaps a link and some info about the faculty council committees, some of which directly affect staff http://www.utexas.edu/faculty/council/pages/standcom_primer.html
What should go under the "Spotlights and events" on the right-hand sidebar?
