I would assume non-student TAs (who do teach students), lab technical staff (who maintain equipment and and more directly enable teaching than janitorial staff) and such are also all non-staff.
- biophysboy 2y agoNon-student TAs are typically grad students whose research lab lacks research assistant funding.
- abdullahkhalids 2y agoUniversities try to hire grad students as TAs to help them out, but sometimes hire outsiders as TAs. It could be because the undergrad major has lots of students but the corresponding graduate major has few. Obviously this varies from university to university and I know nothing about Cornell.

- abdullahkhalids 2y agoSorry. I did mean they are staff, and that they are "necessary" staff for the core function of teaching.
