Historical Note

Originally WSU had two staff senates: the Classified Senate and the Unclassified Professional Senate. In 2014, the Classified Senate voted to leave state civil service, becoming instead the University Support Staff (USS) senate. This title differentiation is reflected in the table below. In 2021, the two staff senates,  UP and USS, merged into one senate; accordingly, beginning in 2021-2022, only one president is listed.
