Overview
Committees and Councils at Windward Community College provide for the involvement of faculty, administrators, staff, and students in deliberations regarding day-to-day and long-range planning and policies for the college. The college policy on committees is 2.2 College Committees.
Committees are established to investigate, consider, report and take action on a particular subject matter. Councils act as advisory groups by providing consultation and advice about a broad range of issues involving the management of the college. Committees generally conduct their own investigation of the issue under consideration, while council discussions are normally based upon input from other outside sources.
Committee and Council directives are contained in this document. An annotated template for all committee and council directives is part of the college policy.
The college has two types of committees, which provide for different levels of involvement in college governance. All college personnel are encouraged to actively participate in college governance by volunteering for committees.
Committee Membership
Unless otherwise stated in the committee directives, committee vacancies are announced as they occur. Announcements are made via campus-wide media such as the college listserv, announcement at convocation, or memorandum. For committees needing full representation, department chairs or division heads are asked to recruit members from their units at the beginning of each school year. Student representatives are recruited via the student government organization.
To ensure that everyone interested in volunteering for a committee has the opportunity, each volunteer is assigned a two-year term. Terms are rotated to insure stability and continuity of the committee. Once an individual completes his/her term, that individual may volunteer again for the committee and serve two or more consecutive terms.
Committee membership lists are posted on the college website. At least once per year, in October, those lists are updated through the Chancellor's office.
Committee Procedures
Unless otherwise stated in the committee directives, each committee elects its own committee chair and recorder. Minutes are recorded and submitted to the responsible administrator to insure a formal process for sharing information and recommendations. A record of the minutes is kept on file by the administrator. Committees may establish additional procedures as needed to optimize effectiveness.
