In accordance with the College By-laws, the College Senate is responsible for oversight of policies that influence or direct members of the college community. Policies emerge from examinations by members of the College Senate Standing Committees, concerns of individuals on campus, as well as queries from campus units. Standing Committees or Ad Hoc Committees of the Senate prepare resolutions, to recommend policy measures and actions concerning academics, student conduct, and faculty/staff development. These resolutions are presented to the College Senate for discussion and approval. Following approval by the College Senate, the resolutions are forwarded to the College President for final approval, and action. Recommendations for amendments and changes to the Senate By Laws are also gathered in this forum.
Current and past Resolutions on campus issues, and the tools used in those decision processes, are included in this section.
