PREFACE

The Yuba College Council Handbook is an ever-evolving document that serves as a resource guide to Yuba College employees, providing the framework for the College’s vision, mission, goals, planning, and shared decision-making processes. Organizational charts and the team and committee structures through which shared decision-making takes place at the College and District levels are also included. What guides the decision-making processes at Yuba College? Shared governance decisions at Yuba College are intended to:

1. Support the students’ growth through effective and inclusive learning environments; 2. Support the Yuba Community College District’s Mission, Institutional Student Learning Outcomes

and Strategic Goals, the Board of Trustees Vision Statement and Values, as well as the Chancellor’s Expectations of the Yuba Community College District;

3. Comply with Yuba Community College District Policies and Regulations and Collective Bargaining Agreements, and;

4. Comply with all relevant federal and state laws and regulations, including California Education Code, California Title 5, and guidelines from the California Community College Chancellor’s Office.

The primary mission of Yuba College is to provide high-quality educational opportunities and the decision-makers must respect that charge. The shared decision-making process should always put the needs of the students first, regardless of the direct or indirect impact or perceived impact to a faculty member or staff person’s specific unit. As a complex and dynamic institution of higher education, shared decisions at Yuba College that may appear to only impact one unit often have far-reaching consequences, so it is imperative to weigh the available data and listen to different stakeholders. Constituency Participation The College is committed to, and values, participatory governance as the core of its decision-making processes. Board Policy and Administrative Procedure 2510 (Participation in Shared Governance) authorize inclusive participation of faculty, staff and students in the College’s decision-making processes through defined roles as follows:


Faculty (Title 5 Sections 53200-53206): The Faculty Senate may represent the faculty and make recommendations to the administration and the Governing Board with respect to academic and professional matters, as long as the exercise of such functions does not conflict with lawful collective bargaining agreements. The District hereby acknowledges the Faculty Association of Yuba Community College District (FAYCCD) as the exclusive representative concerning employment conditions for all academic employees (Government Code Sections 3540 et seq.)

Classified Staff (Title 5 Section 51023.5):

Classified staff shall be provided with opportunities to participate in the formulation and development of District policies and procedures that have a significant effect on staff. The opinions and recommendations of the Classified staff will be given every reasonable consideration.

Students (Title 5 Section 51023.7):

The Associated Students of Yuba College (ASYC) shall be given an opportunity to participate effectively in the formulation and development of policies and procedures that have a significant effect on students, as defined by law. The recommendations and positions of the ASYC will be given every reasonable consideration.

Administrative personnel participate in nearly all committees and meet regularly to discuss College issues and make decisions. The primary participatory governance vehicle for the administrative voice is President’s Cabinet, which is chaired by the College President. All policies and procedures begin the review cycle in President’s Cabinet. After review by other constituent groups, the President’s Cabinet officially approves all policies and procedures before they are submitted for Governing Board approval. Yuba College Standing Committees and Shared Governance Groups

Yuba College has 16 standing committees that participate in shared governance and advise the College President (see page 10 for a list of the committees). Each committee has a charter and membership, which must comply with appropriate State laws and YCCD Policies and Regulations. Committee members are appointed by their respective governance group Governance groups include the Academic Senate, College Council and the Student Association. Each group has a charter and operates within California Education Code requirements and YCCD Policies and Regulations.

Yuba College Task Force

A Yuba College task force is defined as operational in nature, meeting regularly to determine best practices in the implementation of approved policies and regulations or as a temporary group charged to complete a specific task. A task force ensures that all units affected by a policy or a regulation are operationally aligned and promote clear communication among all stakeholders. A task force reports through its parent committee or directly to College Council. A task force can be created by any committee to address a specific task, if the work does not extend beyond an academic year. For task forces that will operate for multiple academic years, approval by College Council or Academic Senate is needed.

Annual Committee Chair Welcome Letter

M E M O R A N D U M

TO: [Insert Committee Name] FROM: The following message is sent on behalf of Yuba College Council DATE: [Insert Date] RE: Welcome to the [Insert Academic Year] Committee Year! You are receiving this email because you either chair or serve as the recorder for a Yuba College committee. We are writing to remind you that it's time for us to update committee memberships (posted at the end of this memo) and complete our annual Committee Objectives Reports (COR) for 2019-2020 as well as assuring all minutes, agendas, reports and other important documents for previous years are uploaded to the Committee web page. This is an opportunity for your committee or project team to focus your work for the coming year by establishing objectives and ensuring that those objectives serve the goals of the college. Hopefully, at this point you're all familiar with the process. If not, here's what you and your committee members need to do: 1. Review your end-of-year CSAR if you completed one. It's helpful to start here because the first section on the Committee Objective Report (COR) asks about your progress the previous year. You should have saved your CSAR in the committee archive we set up for you. You can find that here: https://district.yccd.edu/pages/yc-new/Default. Use your WebAdvisor ID and password to access the archive document management system. 2. Work with your committee members to complete the form. Be sure to complete the section that asks for the names of all ACTIVE committee members. From there, address the questions about last year's objectives. Next, complete the sections that ask for your short- and long-term objectives, the goals those objectives support, your metrics (measurement tools), and your current baseline. 3. Submit your report by archiving it at https://district.yccd.edu/pages/yc-new/Default Be sure to label it clearly and include in the document title your committee name and the year. Members of the College Effectiveness and Accreditation Committee (CEAC) will download it from there. Please do not send up a digital copy. We're requesting that committee memberships, the 2019-2020 COR and all 2018-2019 documentation be completed and submitted by September 28. If your committee has not yet met, now would be a good time to do so, if only to complete the report form. If your committee is already meeting, please make time in an upcoming agenda for this item, even if it means holding a special meeting. CEAC relies on these forms for the useful information they provide. We are tracking, among other things, the health of our committee system. If your committee is not completing this reporting requirement, we aren't getting a full picture of what's being accomplished across campus.
