Welcome to the Shared Governance Council Homepage
As the college’s central governing body, the ELAC Shared Governance Council (ESGC) is an essential part of implementing shared governance on campus by ensuring the representation and involvement of all groups and constituencies in the development of policies in a participative, objective, and constructive manner.
The ESGC recommends to the college president on campus decision-making processes and on a variety of policy matters regarding academics, business, and personnel. It vets recommendations from the Strategic Planning Committee, Educational Planning Subcommittee, Facilities Planning Subcommittee, Technology Planning Subcommittee, Program Review and Viability Committee, and Budget Committee. ESGC also receives regular reports from the Associated Student Union, Accreditation Liaison Officer & Faculty Chair of Accreditation, construction project managers, and the Work Environment Committee.
We encourage you to scroll down for the list of committee members and use the menu options to your left to access the bylaws, minutes, and other resources.
