How does the Academic Senate fulfill its role and accomplish its functions?
The Senate relies on two, basic features: participatory governance and effective communications. Governance and communication are characteristics that foster teaching and learning both directly and indirectly. Senate self-governance is organized horizontally to involve a wide range of perspectives. Communications are designed to disseminate information in a timely way and increase knowledge among the academic community. The Academic Senate has developed and provides services and opportunities, such as electronic listservs, online discussion message boards, printed material and in-person forums.
