Participatory Governance

Through IVC’s participatory governance, constituent groups communicate their perspectives and voices to those who have the responsibility for making final institutional decisions: the Superintendent/President and the Board of Trustees. IVC’s Participatory Governance Handbook serves as a resource guide to institutional decision-making processes and norms.

Decision Making Committees and Groups

There are two types of groups in institutional decision-making:  governance groups and operational groups:

• Governance groups focus on governance tasks: developing recommendations on Board Policies and on the academic and professional matters defined in California Code of Regulations Title 5 § 53200 (10+1). IVC has two governance groups: the Academic Senate and Curriculum Advisory Committee.
• Operational groups focus on the operational tasks required to implement Board Policies and administrative procedures and ensure smooth operation of the college.  IVC relies on a number of operational groups to complete this work, including administrative unit groups, and college-wide committees.
