Spring 2013
Committee:
Resolutions
Whereas, The Student Senate for California Community Colleges has decided to conduct the business of its associated student organizations through the resolutions process developed and passed at either Fall or Spring General Assembly, it seems necessary to direct how the Student Senate accomplishes the intent, directives, or concerns of the Student Senate constituency;
Whereas, According to the Student Senate website, the organization has been receiving resolutions from Student Senate constituents since the spring of 2006, resulting in a total of sixty-two pages of resolutions (as of July 2012), of which forty-one pages are uncompleted;
Whereas, In order for California Community Colleges student resolutions to receive proper attention they must receive buy-in from the other California Community College constituency groups (administrators, faculty, and staff), most specifically the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges; and
Whereas, The Student Senate Council has representatives that are supposed to represent California Community College student interests and concerns as expressed through their approved resolutions from their General Assemblies on the following Academic Senate standing committees: Executive Committee; Curriculum Committee; Governance and Internal Policy Committee; Standards, Equity, Access, and Practices Committee;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges assembles the sixty-two pages of resolutions by categories (through the work of corresponding standing committees) of Academic Senate Committees (Executive; Curriculum; Governance and Internal Policy; and Standards, Equity, Access, and Practices), and with the help of the duly designated standing committee representatives, prioritize and determine a responsible timetable for presentation to the Academic Senate committees; and
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges direct its representatives to the Academic Senate for California Community College to take the resolutions of the students of the California Community Colleges by category to the Academic Senate for discussion and possible buy-in for positive assistive representation before the California Community College Consultation Council and
the California Community College Board of Governor regarding the intent, directives, or concerns of the students of the California Community Colleges.
