Description

Press release from Skyline College: Becky Threewit December 10, 2021 This semester the Academic Senate has made strides to increase transparency in participatory governance. In an effort to accomplish this we created an Agenda Request Form to help streamline and organize all agenda requests in one place. Once an agenda request form is received the Executive Committee uses the newly adopted "ASAP Checklist" (Academic Senate Agenda Prioritization) to determine whether or not an item should be on an upcoming agenda. The "ASAP" checklist takes into consideration direct connection to 10+1 matters, advancement of student experience, asking who an item benefits, time sensitivity, and if it meets the advancement of the Academic Senate/College mission and/or goals regarding equity and anti-racist practices. In addition, we also took several meetings to refine and approve Senate goals for the 2021-2022 Academic Year:   This press release was produced by Skyline College.
