The Academic Senate represents the faculty in academic and professional matters as defined in Title 5 §53200 (the 10+1). To do this work well, the Senate charges committees, subcommittees, and task forces with focused areas of study, review, and recommendation. Faculty members on these groups are appointed by the Academic Senate (Title 5 §53203).

These groups operate under the authority of the Senate, and their recommendations become Senate positions only through Senate action.

Each group submits an annual report to the Senate summarizing its work, recommendations, and outcomes. The Senate reviews charges and membership each year to confirm they continue to serve faculty’s 10+1 and the institution.

The following committees, subcommittees, and task forces support the work of the Academic Senate.
