ACADEMIC SENATE REPRESENTATIVES
Resources for Successful Representation
The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges' (ASCCC's) Local Senates Handbook states, "In Title 5, 'effective participation' means that all stakeholders must be afforded an opportunity to review and comment upon recommendations, proposals, and other matters and to participate effectively in discussions of academic and professional matters" (Part IV: Ensuring the Effectiveness of the Local Academic Senate; Section: Keeping the Faculty Informed; Subsection: Equity And Access to Effective Participation Meetings and Training).
An AI-generated compilation of Senate Representatives' Best Practices Guidance is offered to support efforts to achieve such effective participation of all LMC faculty, particularly by and through the Senate Representatives of our identified constituency areas (single and combined academic departments) listed below.
