Faculty - Start Here!
The Academic Senate is a critical voice in shared governance. And it is important to ensure that you are well-informed about expectations and responsibilities as well as an understanding of the role of the state-wide Senate, the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC)
The agendas for the Academic Senate are sent out to all faculty. Be sure to read them and reach out to your department representative if you have any feedback.
All faculty are encouraged to get involved with ASCCC. There are two plenaries each year - one in the fall and one in the spring. This is where resolutions are debated and voted on. In addition, there are many Area Meetings (we're in Area D) and other professional learning opportunities offered throughout the year. Each summer there is the ASCCC Curriculum Institute as well! We encourage you to join members of the City AS Exec team at these events and get involved in our state-wide advocacy efforts.
