1.b Participatory Governance Overview: The Handbook
The Participatory Governance Handbook describes the major college policies, procedures, and committees related to governance in planning and decision-making.
The handbook serves as a convenient guide for the college community and as a resource for newly hired employees considering an active role in institutional planning and effectiveness outcomes. It is maintained and updated by the Planning and Research Office (PRO) on behalf of the College Planning Committee (CPC) on a regular basis at least every three years.
At Cabrillo College, participatory governance is grounded in the inclusion of faculty, staff, students, and administrators in the decision-making process. Including all constituent groups and varying viewpoints promotes effective collaboration in college planning. The Faculty Senate, Associated Students of Cabrillo College (ASCC) Student Senate, Administrative Council representatives, Confidentials and the collective bargaining units for classified staff and faculty are all present at the highest governance council, the CPC.
In 2021, the handbook will change from a PDF file Links to an external site. to a Governance Handbook Canvas course
