A national accreditation team required a self-study be conducted at Virginia Tech in 1987. Included were questions concerning the quality of work life for staff at the university.
Two critical issues emerged: the need for improved communication on policies and issues and the desire for a formal staff vehicle that would be equal with the
Faculty Senate in voice and responsibility. The new governance structure with university-wide staff representation began on September 26, 1989. A constitution and bylaws were established and the newly created Staff Senate held its first meeting on September 19, 1991.
