College Governance

The governance structure of Las Positas College is reflective of an institutional decision-making process that includes representation from all constituent groups (Student, Classified and Academic Senates and Administration) in recommending policies and/or procedures (exclusive of collective bargaining issues) to the President, Chancellor and Board of Trustees.

The governance process is based upon the shared belief and tradition that the development of college policies, procedures and recommendations is made by consensus built upon campus-wide involvement of students, faculty, classified and administrators.
