Set by university and state human resources.
This answer is limited to competencies for public services support staff, the only recent system-wide review of
competencies. A major goal of the project was to coordinate competencies with our institution’s benchmarking
in language appropriate to union contracts. In this context, the most valuable competencies lists were non-public
documents shared by other institutions working in a similar labor context.
We have developed and refined our competencies largely in consultation with campus human resources specialists, with
a focus on competencies that cut across all job classifications in the library, including library faculty, professional staff,
and support staff.
