What We’ve Done So Far
• Most committees have developed goals for
the year
• Most committees have reflected on their
charters and membership
• A committee self-evaluation process has
been defined and communicated
• PRBC charter has been revised
•
Note: we have “exempted” the Senates from this process
to date
Still to be Done
• Formal revision of charters and approval
through appropriate groups (Academic Senate
and others)
• Getting all shared governance groups in the
game
• Decisions on structure
• Decisions on College Council
• Revising our shared governance document,
engaging the college, gaining required approvals
Questions Raised to Date
• Should COOL report to the Academic
Senate? (Suggested by Curriculum)
• Should Budget Committee purview
expand beyond lottery and bond funds?
• Where should the Budget Committee
report—PRBC, College Council, President?
• Should the Technology Committee have a
role in technology funding decisions?
• May we once again need a Marketing and
Recruitment committee?
The Big “Structure” Question
Should we continue to have a College Council?
If so, what is it’s charter?
There are many options, but
here are three basic models to
consider
President

Academic &
Student
Services Council

Fairness

Option #1: Current Structure
• Purple = not currently functioning
• Green = committees not on current governance chart
• Senates “report” both to President and College Council
FA and SEIU 790
What Does Hierarchy Mean in a
Shared Governance Structure?
OR
Power and authority?
Integration and glue?

Option #2
• College Council disbands
• Tech, Facilities, Staff
Development, Faculty
Prioritization and new
Matriculation Committee are now
“integrated” by PRBC
• Foundation and unions “report”
directly to President
• Where does Safety & Health fit?

Option #3: College Council Remains
with a More Focused Charter
• Major policy/procedure recommendations.
Examples might be mandatory matriculation, or a
new smoking policy, or increases in student fees
• Steering Committee for Accreditation
• Steering Committee for College Master Plan
• Shared governance structure and effectiveness
• Community involvement/outreach?
College Council Membership
• TBD, but a starting point would be:
– The President as chair
– 3 VP’s
– 3 Senate Presidents
– Chair of PRBC
Let’s put on our thinking
hats!
Next Up on our Agenda
• Updating our shared (or is it participatory?)
governance document:
– Update all charters
– Do we stay with “everyone governs the college”
language?
– Add the concepts of policy vs. governance vs.
integration vs. operational committees
– Add language on self-evaluation and continuous
improvement
• Vetting it with the college, and then the BOT
