Senate Delegate Roles and Responsibilities.
California Community Colleges, Sacramento. Academic Senate.
Prepared by the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC), this document describes the roles and responsibilities of Senate Delegates, or faculty members elected by local senates to represent those senates in a voting capacity at Plenary Sessions of the ASCCC. First, a Senate Delegate is defined and Delegate responsibilities are delineated before, during, and after Plenary Sessions. Tips are then provided for increasing Delegate effectiveness, such as getting to know colleagues, using state representatives, and attending orientation/training meetings at the Session. Next, the system of area and geocluster representation is described, indicating that there are 4 areas in the state each holding sessions prior to spring and fall Plenary Sessions, and 14 geoclusters each holding at least three meetings per year. Finally, the document describes the ASCCC's role in consulting with the Board of Governors to form academic and professional policy and describes the Delegates' influence on that process through the Plenary Session resolution process, wherein Delegates write, sponsor, or vote on ASCCC resolutions. This section includes an outline of the resolution writing, presentation, discussing, and voting processes. Appendixes provide an ASCCC organizational chart, a list of colleges in the 14 geoclusters, and flowcharts of the consultation and resolution processes. (KP)
