Academic Senate
Resolution 1.14 Faculty involvement via Academic Senate in all phases of grant proposals
Approved: November 26, 2013
Whereas,
The ACCJC Standards require colleges to have a system of integrated planning,
Grant proposals are a plan that the college will follow, if funded,
Grant proposals should be driven by the college’s needs, as identified in the planning
process,
The Academic Senate’s role includes student preparation and success, curriculum, degree
and certificate programs, faculty hiring, processes for budget development and
processes for planning,
Grant proposals often contain plans for curriculum development, degree and certificate
development, new faculty hiring, and systems to improve student success,
Therefore, in regard to grant proposals that include curriculum development, degree and
certificate development, new faculty hiring, and systems to improve student success,
the Hartnell College Academic Senate urges the Advancement Council to develop
procedures for grant planning and proposal development that include Academic Senate
involvement in the initial phases of proposal development and Academic Senate
approval of grant proposals prior to submission of the proposal.
