Background

The Skyline College Academic Senate is comprised of executive officers, senators, standing committee chairs, and advisory members.

All members of Senate are expected to engage in, encourage, and ensure collegial consultation on academic and professional matters pertaining to the 10+1.  This includes consistently communicating and informing their respective constituencies about senate matters in order to represent all faculty interests in senate discussions, business, and votes.  If you have concerns that you think should be voiced, please reach out to your senator.
