Joan Stroh, Southwestern College
Whereas it is important that delegates to sessions of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges
be informed of their roles and responsibilities, and
Whereas the importance of maintaining the integrity of a true representative process in forwarding business at
sessions cannot be over emphasized,
Therefore be it resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges adopt the pal. .r,
"Senate Delegate Roles and Responsibilities" and refer it to the local senates for implementation.

college students.
