Shared Governance
Shared governance is a collaborative college-wide process dependent on trust and open communication among stakeholders in an environment of mutual respect, collegiality and accountability. Shared governance at Cerritos College operates through a collaborative decision-making process in which the members of each of the major campus constituencies (the Board of Trustees, the Administration, the Management, the Faculty, the Classified/Confidential Staff, and the students) play an appropriate role.
Shared governance at Cerritos College operates through a collaborative decision-making process in which the members of each of the major campus constituencies—the Board of Trustees, the Administration, the Management, the Faculty, the Classified/Confidential Staff, and the students—play an appropriate role. This shared governance process functions in accordance with the Education Code, Title 5 (including AB 1725), and approved policies of the Board of Trustees. As a result, the Board utilizes each constituency group’s knowledge, training, experience, and expertise in the formulation and development of college policies and procedures.
