About Governance Academic Senate College Council Advisory Groups

Structure

Paticipatory governance groups address complex institutional needs, ensure alignment with strategic plans, accreditation standards, and more. MVC's major governance bodies and their chartered subcommittees report to the College President; an aligned District committee, senate or council; and optionally a governing RCCD body. Workgroups and advisory groups report to an assigned governance group during the course of their project. Governance structure is reviewed regularly. Appointments are made by the President, Academic Senate or CSEA.

Governance Structure workflow: Academic Senate, College Council and College President work together and subsequently work with District.
