Steering committee members

A steering committee comprising members of UNT’s executive leadership and leaders from the UNT System Human Resources are overseeing the project.

Core project team

The core project team will work with Towers Watson, a global company with significant experience in higher education human resources, and select supervisors from across campus to identify the duties and functions of each job on campus using the current classification descriptions and the most recent planning guides (UPO-31), where possible. With this information, the team will build a database to help UNT create the new job classifications.
