Councils and Committees

San Diego City College’s governance structure is designed to integrate institutional decision making into our core values. These core values are inclusion, equity, and social justice.

College Council serves as the highest level of governance at the college. It is composed of representatives from our students, faculty, classified professionals, supervisors, and administrators/managers. Five councils (Academic Senate, Classified Senate, and Associated Student Government) all report to College Council. Each of the five councils includes members from the college constituent groups and oversees specific areas of college activities. Councils may oversee additional reporting committees, workgroups, and task forces that support each council’s role.

The governance structure supports effective planning, decision making, and oversight that enables us to put our energies where they will produce the most value and impact for students.
