Charge:

The SC is responsible for the coordination of the College Governance system. SC membership is drawn equally from each designated stakeholder group. Members are responsible for maintaining a collegial working environment so that all members of the community are informed about issues critical to their role in the community. The SC coordinates the work of all committees and councils, decides where policy issues are to be addressed, returns a recommendation to a Committee if the three-step process has not been followed conscientiously, ensures that issues are addressed in a timely manner, may create and retire ad hoc governance task forces, forwards all final recommendations to the Office of President, monitors the repository for official governance documents which exists in the Office of the Provost, and recommends to the President changes in the College Governance Structure and Processes document.

Vice Chairs of the Standing Committees must attend the initial portion of the first SC meeting of each month to provide reports and receive charges for their committee. Vice Chairs are not members of the SC.

(10 members) Voting members include 3 Faculty, 3 Students and 3 Staff; the Provost (or designee) serves ex officio without vote. The committee is co-chaired by Provost (or designee) and an elected member.
