Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 5
Purpose and Introduction In 1988, the California Legislature and the Governor approved AB 1725 directing the California
Community College Board of Governors to develop regulations designed to:
…ensure faculty, staff, and students (have) the opportunity to express their opinions at the campus
level, and to ensure that these opinions are given every reasonable consideration, and the right to
participate effectively in district and college governance, and the right of academic senates to
assume primary responsibility for making recommendations in the areas of curriculum and
academic standards (70900.5).
Upon direction from the Legislature, the California Community College Board of Governors adopted
Title 5 regulations to implement AB 1725. For faculty, these regulations are contained in §51023 and
again in §53201 specifically for Academic Senates. Regulations pertaining to classified staff are found
in §51023.5 and those pertaining to students are under §51023.7. The Board of Governors then
directed each community college district Board of Trustees to adopt local policies and procedures to
implement these Title 5 regulations.
The Cabrillo College Board of Trustees policies supporting the Title 5 regulations are contained in Board
Policy 2510: Participation in Local Decision-Making (See Appendix).
The purpose of the Participatory Governance: Decision Making and Committee Roles in Effective
Institutional Planning is to collect, document, and present the major college policies, procedures, and
committees related to governance in planning and decision-making. The document serves as a convenient
guide for the college community and as a resource for newly hired employees as they consider their role
in active institutional planning and effectiveness outcomes. This handbook is reviewed and updated by the
College Planning Committee (CPC) on a regular basis of at least every three years.
At Cabrillo College, participatory governance is grounded in the inclusion of faculty, staff, students, and
administrators in the decision-making processes. The inclusion of all constituent groups and varying
viewpoints promotes effective collaboration in college planning. The Faculty Senate, the Associated
Students of Cabrillo College (ASCC) Student Senate, Administrative Council representatives, Confidentials,
and the collective bargaining units for Classified Staff and Faculty are all present at the highest governance
council, the CPC. Consistent and effective communication among constituent representatives and their
respective constituent bodies is critical for successful decision-making. Membership on any participatory
governance committee assumes regular communication with constituent bodies either through a
written or oral report. For ease of reporting, a constituency report out template is provided in the
Appendix (pending).

Foundations of Institutional Planning and Participatory Governance Committee Goals
BP 1200 District Mission, Vision and Values
Board Approved 5.20.2015
Reference: ACCJC Standard I.A
Using the college's governance and decision-making processes, the mission, vision and core values are
reviewed on a regular basis and revised as necessary.
Our Mission Cabrillo College empowers students to be effective communicators, critical thinkers, and responsible world
citizens. With a commitment to quality and equity, we connect all learners to pathways that propel them
from where they are to where they aspire to be, including: academic, personal, and career growth.
Vision Statement Cabrillo College improves the world, one student at a time.
Values Learning
We provide an excellent and safe learning environment that enhances a student’s experience in the
accumulation of knowledge, the sharing of ideas and the celebration of achievement both within the
classroom and throughout the college’s community of learners.
Student Focus
We commit to creating the best educational environment for students, providing quality programs and
services that promote their diverse and evolving needs as they progress toward their individual
educational goals.
Collaboration
We believe in the open exchange of ideas that is nurtured through respect, trust, and consideration of
differences, demonstrated by our shared commitment to the mission of Cabrillo College.
Esteem
We strive to hold each member of the Cabrillo community in esteem, based on the far-reaching potential
of each individual, the diverse and often unrecognized journeys and achievements of each person, and the
fundamental dignity of each human being.
Equity
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 7
Student Equity at Cabrillo College is the commitment to cultivate an inclusive teaching and learning
environment by providing equitable support, access, and opportunities for success emphasizing
historically underrepresented and emerging student populations.
Core Four Competencies To achieve our mission, the Cabrillo College community works together to help students master our four
college competencies. The Core 4 represent the major skills that all students need to succeed in
completing their degree pattern. The college is committed to fulfilling this promise: When our students
have met the requirement for the A.A or A.S. degree or have completed the general education sequence,
they will be competent in:
Communication: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, and/or Conversing
Critical Thinking and Information Competency: Analysis, Computation, Research, Problem Solving
Global Awareness: An appreciation of Scientific Processes, Global Systems and Civics, and Artistic
Variety
Personal Responsibility and Professional Development: Self-Management and Self- Awareness,
Social and Physical Wellness, Workplace Skills
Accreditation The Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the recognized local agency that is affiliated with the
Federation of Regional Accrediting Commissions of Higher Education, accredit Cabrillo College. The College
adheres to the institutional standards set forth by the Accreditation Commission for Community and
Junior Colleges, and has been approved by the Board of Governors of the California Community
Colleges and the California State Department of Education. The College is also approved by the
California Department of Education for the training of veterans under the provisions of the G.I. Bill of
Regulations. The College is a member of the Community College League of California. Designated
courses are accepted on a transfer basis by the University of California, the California State
University system, and by private four-year colleges and universities. Review and evaluation of the College
Mission Statement, Academic Quality, Institutional Effectiveness, and Institutional Integrity will be
included in the triennial revision of the college mission statement and this handbook.

The President/Superintendent ensures that the District has and implements a broad based,
comprehensive, systematic, and integrated system of planning that involves appropriate segments of the
college community and is supported by Institutional Effectiveness research (BP3250).
Systematic planning at Cabrillo College is led by our participatory governance committees using
constituent input and feedback.

The Philosophy of Participatory Governance Decision Making at Cabrillo College BP2430, BP2510 Education Code §§70902(d), 72400; Accreditation Standard IV.B.1.j:IV.B.2
ACCJC Accreditation Standard IV, Leadership and Governance indicates the institution recognizes and uses
the contributions of leadership throughout the organization for promoting student success, sustaining
academic quality, integrity, fiscal stability, and continuous improvement of the institution. Governance
roles are defined in policy and are designed to facilitate decisions that support student learning programs
and services and improve institutional effectiveness, while acknowledging the designated responsibilities
of the governing board and the chief executive officer. Through established governance structures,
processes, and practices, the governing board, administrators, faculty, staff, and students work together
for the good of the institution.
Cabrillo College encourages collegial rapport among all stakeholders while students, our primary
stakeholders, and their success is our key focus. Within participatory governance committees, the process
is to work with others in making decisions that are in the best interest of the college rather than just one
constituency or one individual. The institution is lifted by perspective-sharing within the bigger picture.
We are guided by: A perspective of larger institutional planning
All participants taking responsibility for relaying and sharing information as well as providing
constituent feedback to the committee on which participants serve
Providing expertise from constituencies but deciding from a college perspective
Gathering information as part of the decision-making process
Trusting the intent of the committee participant
Acknowledging competing interests but working for the good of the college as a whole
Tools for participatory governance decision-making: All Master Planning documents of the college including but not limited to:
Educational Master Plan
Cabrillo Connects Strategic Plan
Facilities Master Plan
Technology Plan
Distance Education Plan
Student Success and Support Plan
Student Equity Plan
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 11
Data from the college or outside entities including but not limited to:
Program data
Population/demographic data
Institutional data
Economic vitality data
Budget data
K-12 / California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (CalPASS) data
Bay Area Community College Consortium (BACCC) regional data
Other county, other regional, statewide, and national data, as appropriate
There are three foundational premises to inform and clarify the use of data within the collegial
decision making process:
Belief that the data/information are trustworthy, reliable, accessible and transparent to the
college.
Agreement that additional data may be required and requested as part of the process.
Understanding that data may need explanation and review as part of the decision-making
process.
Decision-Making for Participatory Governance Committees: We agree that adequate time and review be spent on decisions as needed and appropriate.
Whenever possible consensus will be the desired approach. Participants will use the thumbs
up/thumbs down approach with a sideways thumb for those who can ‘live with the decision’.
When a participant ‘lives with the decision’ it implies an appropriate timeline for evaluation
and review of the process (to be decided by the committee). Committees may request a
formal vote be taken for specific items.
We agree that when conflict arises, a vote may be taken as part of the process but not until
reasonable avenues for consensus has been attempted.
We agree that all decisions and recommendations go to the president as advisory; should the
president disagree with the decision / recommendation, a written response will be provided
to the committee.
Behaviors Beneficial to the Participatory Governance Process: Listening for understanding: strive to explain the opposing position or idea
Clarifying and summation of ideas or positions – checking for understanding
Encouraging all to participate
Encouraging the greater good
Upholding/maintaining an institution wide perspective
Maintaining respectful dialogue/respectful rapport

Role and Responsibility for Governance Faculty Participation: Operational Planning There is operational consistency for all faculty. Faculty work with their Program Chairs and Deans on
matters concerning curriculum and classroom operations. Faculty work together with administrators to
determine the most effective methods to meet the needs of students, personnel, and the college.
Participatory Governance The Faculty Senate is responsible for formal recommendations regarding academic and professional
matters, also known as 10 + 1. (See Appendix: California Administrative Code Title 5 §53201, Cabrillo
Board Policy 2510). The Faculty Senate Executive Board consists of an elected president, and an
appointed Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Division Senators are comprised of two faculty
elected from each of the five instructional divisions, plus one each from Counseling, Counseling and
Educational Support Services, and the Library. The Watsonville Representative is a voting member.
Senator-at-Large seats rotate every other year and are filled by election. Non-voting seats are held by a
Student Senate Representative, the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Coordinator, the Cabrillo
College Federation of Teachers Liaison, the Cabrillo Classified Employee Union Liaison, and the Vice
President of Instruction.
The Faculty Senate is also responsible for appointing faculty to college and district standing
committees, peer review teams, and various college and district ad hoc committees. In addition, the
Faculty Senate provides input into the prioritization process for new planning and resource requests
through their appointments to the core department/division/council and/or Senate group and the College
Planning Committee (CPC). The Senate president meets regularly with the College President and Vice
President of Instruction and the Dean of Research, Planning, & Institutional Effectiveness to ensure
college-wide faculty concerns are communicated and discussed. Faculty Senate meetings are open
and all faculty are encouraged to communicate regularly with their representatives and to participate in
Senate sponsored events, activities, and meetings. Senate minutes are posted on their website. Faculty
representatives on participatory governance committees will report back to Faculty Senate on a consistent
basis.
Collective Bargaining The Cabrillo College Federation of Teachers (CCFT) is the collective bargaining representative for all
Cabrillo College faculty. CCFT often appoints representatives to committees and groups that deal
primarily with employee contracts and benefit information and issues. Questions or concerns
regarding faculty working conditions should be directed to CCFT representatives.
Collective Bargaining: Legal Provisions Decision-making policies and implementation cannot detract from negotiated agreements on wages and
working conditions. Faculty Senate and bargaining representative may establish agreements as to
consulting, collaborating, sharing or delegating (Title 5 §53204). The exclusive bargaining agent shall
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 14
consult with the faculty senate prior to engaging in bargaining on: Faculty Evaluation (Ed Code §87663),
Tenure (Ed Code §87610.6) and Faculty Service Areas (Ed Code §87743.2). CCFT representatives on
participatory governance committees will report back to CCFT on a consistent basis.
Classified Staff Participation: Operational Planning Classified staff have the responsibility and opportunity to participate in decision-making across the
college. At the operational level, classified staff collaborate with other staff, administrators, faculty, and
students within and across their departments, programs, and service areas to determine the most
effective ways to meet the needs of the students, personnel, and the college. Different units have varying
processes for how operational decisions are made and staff are encouraged to check with their
supervisors, governance, and/or bargaining unit leaders for more detailed information.
Participatory Governance Recommendations and opinions of staff are given every reasonable consideration. The classified staff
appoints representatives to various college committees through the collective bargaining unit, Cabrillo
Classified Employee Union (CCEU). Classified staff shared governance participation is defined by Title 5 and
Board Policies and Administrative Procedures. Classified staff provide input into the prioritization for new
planning and resource requests through their appointments to core mission workgroups and the CPC.
Classified staff are encouraged to communicate regularly through their representatives and are
encouraged to participate in meetings, events, and other college wide activities. CCEU representatives on
participatory governance committees will report back to CCEU on a consistent basis.
Collective Bargaining Classified staff have one collective bargaining unit that represents all classified employees on work related
conditions. Questions or concerns regarding working conditions should be directed to the CCEU
representatives. CCEU appoints representatives to shared governance committees and groups that deal
with all aspects of college decision making, especially those that affect employee contracts, working
conditions, and benefit information.
Confidentials – Meet and Confer Group: “Confidential Employee” is an employee of the District who, in the regular course of his/her duties, has
access to confidential information that contributes to the development of management proposals and
decisions with respect to employer-employee relations (Government Code §3540.1(c)). As such, they are
not a bargaining unit, but rather a meet and confer unit. This component has a representative presence on
the CPC and selected shared governance committees. Confidential representatives on participatory
governance committees report to the Confidential group on a consistent basis.
Administrator Participation: Operational Planning Administrators participate in decision-making processes in a variety of ways. In their local areas of
responsibility, they are responsible for seeking faculty, staff, and student input to improve programs and
services, as well as working with their direct supervisors and appropriate committees and work groups to
represent the ideas and issues of their areas. Managers are responsible for facilitating department and
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 15
unit program reviews and plans by faculty and staff, as well as for facilitating division or service area
meetings where faculty and staff work together to prioritize any requests for college-wide resources
coming from their academic or service areas.
All Deans, Vice Presidents, and select managers with broader campus responsibilities serve on the Admin
Council, which meets monthly. When needed, managers provide formal input on governance issues to the
college president.
The Instructional Deans have a monthly meeting with the Vice President of Instruction and the Director of
Planning & Research to problem solve and discuss operational issues such as providing curriculum support
to faculty, program compliance and regulatory changes, enrollment management, and coordinating
overlapping programs and services.
The President’s Cabinet meets weekly and includes the President and all Vice Presidents, and the Director
of Planning & Research as needed. The President’s Cabinet is responsible for discussing overall college
operational issues and making recommendations to the President based on input from their areas.
Participatory Governance Administrators are appointed to serve on a variety of Cabrillo College and District ad hoc and standing
committees by the college president. The administrators provide input to the prioritization process for
new planning and resource requests through their appointments to the core mission workgroups and the
CPC. In addition, administrators have a responsibility to solicit opinions from faculty, staff, and students in
affected areas, as well as give those opinions reasonable consideration before final decisions are made
that affect those individuals. Administrator representatives on participatory governance committees will
report back to Administrators on a consistent basis.
Meet and Confer Administrators who are directors, deans, and vice presidents are represented by the meet and confer
group, Administrative Benefits Committee (ABC). Questions and concerns regarding working conditions
should be directed to ABC representatives.
Student Participation: The Associated Students of Cabrillo College (ASCC) Student Senate is responsible for representing all
students to the college president, Faculty Senate, and college standing committees (Cabrillo Board Policy
2150, California Administrative Code Title 5 §51023.7). The ASCC Student Senate appoints eligible students
to serve on a number of college standing committees, including the CPC, and the Assessment Review
Committee, among others. All Cabrillo students are represented on the Cabrillo Board of Trustees by a
Student Trustee with an advisory vote (Cabrillo Board Policy 2150). The ASCC President or his or her
designee is a member of the CPC.
Each Cabrillo student has specific rights and responsibilities as a student enrolled in the college, which are
defined by the Students Rights and Responsibility Handbook. All students are encouraged to make their
voice heard by voting or participating in student elections and student clubs, by bringing issues to the
attention of the ASCC Student Senate, or by contributing their opinions to occasional college surveys
regarding student satisfaction with the college and specific departments and services.
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 16
Participatory Governance Students participate in decision-making processes in a variety of ways. The ASCC Student Senate meets
regularly and appoints student representatives to governance groups and committees within the college.
The ASCC Student Senate provides input to the prioritization process for new planning and resource
requests through their appointments to the Student Learning Outcomes Committee, the Facilities Planning
and Advisory Committee, and the CPC. Students have a responsibility to gather information from these
meetings and to disseminate this information and collect feedback from their student peers. Student
representatives on participatory governance committees will report back to Student Senate on a
consistent basis.
Board of Trustees: Operational and Policy Planning The Board of Trustees is responsible for making formal decisions regarding academic and professional
matters. This is done through the implementation of Board Policy. Board policy is the voice of the Board of
Trustees and defines the general goals and acceptable practices for the operation of the District. It
implements federal and state laws and regulations. The Board of Trustees, through policy, delegates
authority to the Superintendent/President to administer the District. The Superintendent/President and
District employees are responsible to reasonably interpret Board policy as well as other relevant laws and
regulations that govern the District.
Participatory Governance In administering District policies, the Superintendent/President shall be guided by the knowledge that the
Board of Trustees values an open interchange of ideas among all employees of the District. Nothing herein
shall be interpreted as intended to interrupt the free and open flow of ideas and assistance among
personnel at every level.
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (as of 11/21/19) 17
Structures for Participation Participatory Governance Groups CPC must approve all Participatory Governance Groups.
Participatory Governance Committee Committee that meets on a regular basis, consisting of constituent representatives designated or selected
to act in an advisory capacity to College Planning Committee (CPC). The charge of Cabrillo College
governance committees is to communicate ideas, concerns, goal completions and recommendations
through dialogue between the committee, CPC, and their constituents. These committees serve as vital
components to college planning and goal setting.
Subcommittee A permanent sub group convened by a standing committee or council designated to consider specific
subjects in detail for recommendations back to the standing committee or council. The chair or one
representative must be a member of the committee or council to which it reports. Other members need
not be members of the committee to which it reports.
Operational Groups Council Standing council intended to consider all matters pertaining to procedural issues as defined by the role of
the members, (e.g., Council for Instructional Planning) and assisting with college operations needs.
Task Force A constituency or operations represented group specifically convened by and reporting to a committee or
to the President (or President’s designee) to address a special college-wide subject/issue. The Task Force
meets until the subject/issue is resolved whereupon the group disbands.
Advisory Group A working group of individuals with specialized expertise that provides input and advice to an operational
unit or group of units but does not make binding decisions (example EOPS Advisory Group).

Decision Making Process All ideas or proposed changes that have a District wide impact will move through the Participatory Governance process
via appropriate committees. Final recommendations and decisions move through the governance process to the College
Planning Committee (CPC). CPC considers the recommendations and provides and final recommendation to the
President. Should the President disagree with a governance recommendation, it is incumbent upon the President to
state in writing the rationale. Recommendations that require Board of Trustees approval will move forward as action
items to the board agenda. Informational recommendations may also be given to the Board as an information agenda
item or report.
1. Propose action.
2. Relevant governance committee(s) will discuss and evaluate the proposed action through inclusive dialogue and
may request additional data or wish to confer with other committees, councils, etc.
3. A formal recommendation may move forward to CPC to discuss and evaluate through inclusive dialogue. The
committee chair or designee(s) forwarding the recommendation is expected to introduce the written
recommendation to CPC in person. Should the chair or designee be unavailable, the recommendation must be
accompanied by a written summary of committee feedback and rationale for the recommendation. Any
recommendation moving forward must be provided in time to allow for sufficient dialogue, data and information
request fulfillment, and other consultation.
4. CPC will provide feedback and any requested changes to the proposing committee. This will be documented
through minutes and communicated to the committee chair by the President in writing. This may require
returning to Step 1 or 2 as appropriate.
5. CPC makes final recommendation to President. The President can ask for additional information and if s/he does
not accept recommendation the rationale must be stated in writing.
6. President presents recommendation as action item to Board of Trustees to discuss and evaluate and may request
additional information or consult with others as appropriate. Should the Board of Trustees not accept the
recommendation their rationale should be clearly reflected in the minutes.
7. After adoption the action item is implemented. The implementation task is typically assigned to an employee,
office, service, and/or department.
8. After implementation, the action should be assessed or evaluated for effectiveness and informing future action
proposals to complete the cycle of Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. The means and method of the
evaluation depend on the action item and should be defined when developing the action item. For example, an
action item to implement a process change to improve student outcomes should contain a specific numeric goal
and timeline.

recognize or chooses to recognize pursuant to legal authority. In addition, for the purposes of this section,
management and non-management positions or groups of positions shall be separately defined or categorized.
2. Participation structures and procedures for the staff positions defined or categorized.
3. In performing the requirements of subsections (a)(1) and (2), the governing board or its designees shall
consult with the representatives of existing staff councils, committees, employee organizations, and other such
bodies. Where no groups or structures for participation exist that provide representation for the purposes of
this section for particular groups of staff, the governing board or its designees, shall broadly inform all staff of
the policies and procedures being developed, invite the participation of staff, and provide opportunities for staff
to express their views.
4. Staff shall be provided with opportunities to participate in the formulation and development of district and
college policies and procedures, and in those processes for jointly developing recommendations for action by
the governing board, that the governing board reasonably determines, in consultation with staff, have or will
have a significant effect on staff.
5. Except in unforeseeable, emergency situations, the governing board shall not take action on matters
significantly affecting staff until it has provided staff an opportunity to participate in the formulation and
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (updated 11/21/19) 35
development of those matters through appropriate structures and procedures as determined by the governing
board in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
6. The policies and procedures of the governing board shall ensure that the recommendations and opinions of
staff are given every reasonable consideration.
7. When a college or district task force, committee, or other governance group, is used to consult with staff
regarding implementation of this section or to deal with other issues which have been determined to
significantly affect staff pursuant to subdivision (a)(4), the appointment of staff representatives shall be made as
follows:
i. The exclusive representative shall appoint representatives for the respective bargaining unit employees,
unless the exclusive representative and the governing board mutually agree in a memorandum of
understanding to an alternative appointment process.
ii. Where a group of employees is not represented by an exclusive agent, the appointment of a
representative of such employees on any task force, committee or governance group shall be made by, or in
consultation with, any other councils, committees, employee organizations, or other staff groups that the
governing board has officially recognized in its policies and procedures for staff participation.
iii. When the task force, committee or governance group will deal with issues outside the scope of
collective bargaining, any other council, committee or staff group, other than an exclusive agent, that the
governing board has officially recognized in its policies and procedures for staff participation may be allowed
to designate an additional representative. These organizations shall not receive release time, rights, or
representation on such task forces, committees, or other governance groups exceeding that offered to the
exclusive representative of classified employees.
iv. In all cases, representatives shall be selected from the category that they represent.
b. In developing and carrying out policies and procedures pursuant to subsection (a), the district governing board
shall ensure that its actions do not dominate or interfere with the formation or administration of any employee
organization, or contribute financial or other support to it, or in any way encourage employees to join any
organization in preference to another. In addition, in order to comply with Government Code §§3540, et seq.,
such procedures for staff participation shall not intrude on matters within the scope of representation under
section 3543.2 of the Government Code. Governing boards shall not interfere with the exercise of employee
rights to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the
purpose of representation on all matters of employer-employee relations. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to impinge upon or detract from any negotiations or negotiated agreements between exclusive
representatives and district governing boards. It is the intent of the Board of Governors to respect lawful
agreements between staff and exclusive representatives as to how they will consult, collaborate, share, or
delegate among themselves the responsibilities that are or may be delegated to staff pursuant to these
regulations.
c. Nothing in this section shall be construed to impinge upon the policies and procedures
governing the participation rights of faculty and students pursuant to §§53200- 53204, and §51023.7,
respectively.
d. The governing board of a community college district shall comply substantially with the provisions of this

AP 2510 Participation in Local Decision Making Faculty Participation
Operational Planning
There is operational consistency for all faculty. Faculty work with their Department Chairs and Deans on matters
concerning curriculum and classroom operations. Faculty work together with administrators to determine the most
effective methods to meet the needs of students, personnel, and the college.
Shared Governance
The Faculty Senate is responsible for formal recommendations regarding academic and professional matters (See
Appendix: California Administrative Code Title 5 Section 53201, Cabrillo Board Policy 2130). The Faculty Senate Executive
Board consists of an elected president, and an appointed Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Division Senators
are comprised of two faculty elected from each of the five instructional divisions, plus one each from Counseling,
Counseling and Educational Support Services, and the Library. The Watsonville Representative is a voting member.
Senator-at-Large seats rotate every other year and are filled by election. Non-voting seats are held by a Student Senate
Representative, the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Coordinator, the Cabrillo College Federation of Teachers
Liaison, the Cabrillo Classified Employee Union Liaison, and the Vice President of Instruction.
The Faculty Senate is also responsible for appointing faculty to college and district standing committees, peer review
teams, and various college and district ad hoc committees. In addition, the Faculty Senate provides input into the
prioritization process for new planning and resource requests through their appointments to the core mission
workgroups and the College Planning Council. The Senate president meets regularly with the College President and Vice
President of Instruction and the Director of Planning & Research to ensure college-wide faculty concerns are
communicated and discussed. Faculty Senate meetings are open and all faculty are encouraged to communicate
regularly with their representatives and to participate in Senate sponsored events, activities, and meetings. Senate
minutes are posted on their website: http://cabrillo.edu/associations/facultysenate/minutes.html

benefit information and issues. Questions or concerns regarding faculty working conditions should be directed to CCFT
representatives.
Collective Bargaining: Legal Provisions

conditions. Faculty senate and bargaining representative may establish agreements as to consulting, collaborating,
sharing or delegating (Title 5 §53204). The exclusive bargaining agent shall consult with the faculty senate prior to
engaging in bargaining on: Faculty Evaluation (Ed Code §87663), Tenure (Ed Code §87610.6) and Faculty Service Areas
(Ed Code §87743.2).
Staff Participation
Operational Planning
Classified staff have the responsibility and opportunity to participate in decision-making across the college. At the
operational level, classified staff collaborate with other staff, administrators, faculty, and students within and across
their departments, programs, and service areas to determine the most effective ways to meet the needs of the students,
personnel, and the college. Different units have varying processes for how operational decisions are made and staff are
encouraged to check with their supervisors, governance, and/or bargaining unit leaders for more detailed information.
Shared Governance
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (updated 11/21/19) 41
Recommendations and opinions of staff are given every reasonable consideration. The classified staff appoints
representatives to various college committees through the collective bargaining unit, (CCEU). Classified staff shared
governance participation is defined by Title 5 and Board Policies and Administrative Procedures. Classified staff provide
input into the prioritization for new planning and resource requests through their appointments to core mission
workgroups and the College Planning Council. Classified staff are encouraged to communicate regularly through their
representatives and are encouraged to participate in meetings, events, and other college wide activities.
Collective Bargaining
Classified staff have one collective bargaining unit that represents all classified employees on work related conditions.
Questions or concerns regarding working conditions should be directed to the Cabrillo Classified Employee Union (CCEU)
representatives. CCEU appoints representatives to shared governance committees and groups that deal with all aspects
of college decision making, especially those that affect employee contracts, working conditions, and benefit information.
Confidentials – Meet and Confer Group
“Confidential Employee” is an employee of the District who, in the regular course of his/her duties, has access to
confidential information that contributes to the development of management proposals and decisions with respect to
employer-employee relations (Government Code §3540.1(c)). As such, they are not a bargaining unit, but rather a meet
and confer unit. This component has a representative presence on the CPC and selected shared governance
committees.
Student Participation
The Associated Students of Cabrillo College (ASCC) Student Senate is responsible for representing all students to the
college president, Faculty Senate, and college standing committees (Cabrillo Board Policy 2150, California Administrative
Code Title 5 §51023.7). The ASCC Student Senate appoints eligible students to serve on a number of college standing
committees, including the College Planning Council, and the Assessment Review Committee, among others. All Cabrillo
students are represented on the Cabrillo Board of Trustees by a Student Trustee with an advisory vote (Cabrillo Board
Policy 2150). The ASCC President or his or her designee is a member of the College Planning Council.
Each Cabrillo student has specific rights and responsibilities as a student enrolled in the college, which are defined by the
Students Rights and Responsibility Handbook. All students are encouraged to make their voice heard by voting or
participating in student elections and student clubs, by bringing issues to the attention of the ASCC Student Senate, or
by contributing their opinions to occasional college surveys regarding student satisfaction with the college and specific
departments and services.
Shared Governance
Students participate in decision-making processes in a variety of ways. The ASCC Student Senate meets regularly and
appoints student representatives to governance groups and committees within the college. The ASCC Student Senate
provides input to the prioritization process for new planning and resource requests through their appointments to the
Student Learning Outcomes Committee, the Facilities Planning and Advisory Committee, and the College Planning
Council. Students have a responsibility to gather information from these meetings and to disseminate this information
and collect feedback from their student peers.
Students (Education Code §51023.7)
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (updated 11/21/19) 42
Students shall be provided with opportunities to participate in the formulation and development of Board Policies and

are responsible for seeking faculty, staff, and student input to improve programs and services, as well as working with
their direct supervisors and appropriate committees and work groups to represent the ideas and issues of their areas.
Managers are responsible for facilitating department and unit program reviews and plans by faculty and staff, as well as
for facilitating division or service area meetings where faculty and staff work together to prioritize any requests for
college-wide resources coming from their academic or service areas.
All Deans, Vice Presidents, and select managers with broader campus responsibilities serve on the Admin Council, which
meets monthly. When needed, managers provide formal input on governance issues to the college president.
The Instructional Deans have a monthly meeting with the Vice President of Instruction and the Director of Planning &
Research to problem solve and discuss operational issues such as providing curriculum support to faculty, program
compliance and regulatory changes, enrollment management, and coordinating overlapping programs and services.
The President’s Cabinet meets weekly and includes the President and all the Vice Presidents, and the Director of
Planning & Research as needed. The President’s Cabinet is responsible for discussing overall college operational issues
and making recommendations to the President based on input from their areas.
Shared Governance
Administrators are appointed to serve on a variety of Cabrillo College and District ad hoc and standing committees by
the college president. The administrators provide input to the prioritization process for new planning and resource
Cabrillo College Governance Handbook (updated 11/21/19) 43
requests through their appointments to the core mission workgroups and the College Planning Council. In addition,
administrators have a responsibility to solicit opinions from faculty, staff, and students in affected areas, as well as give
those opinions reasonable consideration before final decisions are made that affect those individuals.

Administrative Benefits Committee (ABC). Questions and concerns regarding working conditions should be directed to
ABC representatives.
Board of Trustees
Operational and Policy Planning
The Board of Trustees is responsible for making formal decisions regarding academic and professional matters. This is
done through the implementation of Board Policy. Board policy is the voice of the Board of Trustees and defines the
general goals and acceptable practices for the operation of the District. It implements federal and state laws and
regulations. The Board of Trustees, through policy, delegates authority to the Superintendent/President to administer
the District. The Superintendent/President and District employees are responsible to reasonably interpret Board policy
as well as other relevant laws and regulations that govern the District.
Shared Governance
In administering District policies, the Superintendent/President shall be guided by the knowledge that the Board of
Trustees values an open interchange of ideas among all employees of the District. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as
intended to interrupt the free and open flow of ideas and assistance among personnel at every level.
