Academic Senate

Purpose: The role of the Chaffey College Academic Senate is to participate effectively in the formation of college policy with respect to academic and professional matters. The rights and responsibilities of the Academic Senate derive from the California Administrative Code Title V and from District policies.

Scope: AB1725 assigns a major role to the Academic Senate in the development of policies and procedures dealing with academic and professional matters. The legislature has given the faculty primary responsibility in academic and professional matters and has bestowed statutory recognition on the community college faculty that it may function in a fashion similar to that of the faculties of public four-year colleges and universities.
