History is in the making .........
How was the Senate Created?
In order to ensure effective student participation in the development of policy for the California Community College system, the Board of Governors adopted section 50002 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations which states: "a Student Senate for the California Community Colleges has been established in conjunction with local associated student organizations so that the community colleges students of California may have a formal and effective means for participation in the formation of state policies that have or may have a significant impact on students. It further states that "the Board of Governors recognizes the Student Senate for the California Community Colleges as the representative of community college associated student organizations before the Board of Governors and the Chancellor's Office."
In addition, the Student Senate fully participates as a member of the Consultation Council as established by AB 1725 (Stats. 1988, Ch. 973)
