Administrative Councils

Administrative councils assist the College's senior administration in coordinating the institutional logistics that implement the President's, Chancellor's, and Board's plans, procedures, and policies. The authority for organizational groups is derived from the President, Chancellor, and Board of Trustees who assign specific responsibilities to positions through job descriptions.

Administrative councils assess, discuss and make recommendations to a senior administrator about the general management and oversight of the College on a wide range of topics, such as resource allocation, personnel, staffing, instructional or student services issues, unit/program planning, safety, and emergency planning.

Administrative councils' membership is determined by the position held within the College.
