This resolution was completed with the acceptance of Faculty Role in Planning and Budget in Spring 2001.
Whereas AB 1725 has provided local academic senates with legal responsibilities that include a responsibility for participation in institutional planning and budget development, and
Whereas districts and colleges have large budgets, decisions about which are often decided without an established and stipulated process that includes faculty participation in the establishment of priorities, criteria, and budgetary determinations,
Resolved that the Academic Senate direct the Executive Committee to establish a procedural model that includes recommendations for a systematic process for faculty involvement with institutional planning and budget development including allocations of funds for technology, staff development, and all other aspects of issues involving academic and professional matters.
