*"Definition of “Staff” employee is defined by Title 5, 42700, page 540 (o). “Nonacademic employees" means an employee who provides non-
instructional and non-administrative supporting services such as secretarial, clerical, and maintenance services. A nonacademic employee may have
lead responsibility, but normally does not have responsibility for major decisions. Higher academic degrees are not an essential qualification for service
as a nonacademic employee.
