Training Your Senate, Your Administrators, Your Trustees*

“The need to have an informed and active academic senate has perhaps never been greater. At a time when major changes are occurring in our colleges, we have more new administrators, and often those from out of state do not have an understanding of the 10 + 1 or of the aims of AB 1725. Simultaneously we have hired a new generation of faculty and retired many senior faculty members who understood the need for strong academic senates. Therefore, it is essential for senates to be seeped in the wisdom of the 10 + 1. Senates need to train their faculty, administrators, and trustees.”

Jane Patton, 2011 Spring Plenary Opening Session Address
