The CCC Faculty Senate advocates for academic leadership, faculty voice, and fairness and equity in college decision making processes. Our goals are to contribute to the quality of academics, to enhance opportunities for student success, to solidify transparent shared governance and to improve communication and understanding in the college community.
Below you will find links to the constitution and charter of the Faculty Senate as well as a link to an agenda item request form. Anyone can complete an agenda item request form. Faculty Senate will review requests to determine if the issue is relevant to its purposes. If so, we will include the issue on the agenda for discussion and research. Faculty Senate may forward agenda request items that do not fit this criterion to another section of the college. The Faculty Senate Intranet site archives all agenda item request forms and any additional forms generated from an agenda item.
