The University Staff Advisory Council (USAC) provides a forum for issues, concerns, interests, enhancements, and information that may apply to the staff of the University of Richmond. The council shares information, discusses issues and ideas, and serves as a liaison between the staff and the administration. 

Council representatives are responsible for soliciting and conveying the opinions of their fellow employees to the Vice President for Business and Finance or his designee. In addition, the council communicates to the university staff the results of the meetings. 

USAC is not vested with binding authority, but serves to provide input and recommendations to the administration regarding staff interests and concerns as they bear upon the life and operation of the institution.
