Resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges support the concept of, and seek funding for, a series of workshops, modeled on the Educational Leadership Colloquia (ELC), using teams consisting of faculty, administrators, trustees, students, and classified in order to explore all facets and possibilities of the multicultural curriculum.
