It represents its members before various units inside the university and outside it, provides them with legal advice and also legal representation, if necessary, in matters related to their labor rights as junior academic staff of the University of Haifa, and also assists them in other areas such as: obtaining permanent discounts in various networks, purchasing discount vouchers and more.
• Administrative Staff Organization Committee is the body that represents all the members of the administrative staff before the university management in general and personal matters, concerning employees working conditions.  Administrative staff includes faculties administration, HR, librarians, engineers, microbiologists, laboratory managers, etc. The members of the committee are university employees from various units who are elected to serve a three years term.
