Academic Council
The Academic Council (AC) coordinates, discusses, and makes recommendations regarding functions, plans, and activities related to instructional programs, career technical education (CTE), educational partnerships (e.g., prison education and dual enrollment), library and learning support services. The AC provides leadership and retains responsibility for ACCJC Standards IIA/B, while serving as a communication link to the rest of the college regarding strategic and operational matters associated with their assigned EMP objectives. The AC makes recommendations to the College Council and the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Recommended membership provided to the appointing bodies for AC is based on subject-area knowledge and experience. The College recognizes that these are recommendations only and that appointments are made solely by the appointing bodies.
