7. Faculty roles and involvement in accreditation processes, including self-study and annual reports
8. Policies for faculty professional development activities
9. Processes for program review
10. Processes for institutional planning and budget development 
11. Other academic and professional matters as are mutually agreed upon between the governing board and the academic senate.

The Senate meets from 3-5 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in E-112 during the academic year. There is also a link for guests to attend remotely. The Steering Committee (officers) meets from 3-5 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays to plan the upcoming meeting and create the agenda.
