ASU proudly showcases its high student enrollment, yet this success doesn’t benefit employees, who continue to live paycheck to paycheck. Supervisors and directors seem to care only about numbers, not about the people behind them. According to a report from ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy, rent in Arizona has soared nearly 72% from 2010 to 2022, forcing minimum wage workers to work 86 hours per week—essentially more than two full-time jobs—to afford a two-bedroom home. How can we manage to sleep, let alone live balanced lives, under these conditions?

The current SUN award allows recipients who receives Sun Award know who the sender is. While in most cases, I don't have problem disclosing it, I have heard from faculty/staff that they wish there is an option to allow the sender to be anonymous. Can we add this option for those who would like to use them?

ASU Staff Council with the Programming, Outreach and Engagement Committee invites you to join us for our monthly Happy Hour on August 28, 2024. This month’s HH will be at Devil’s Advocate in Tempe.
