a. inform and educate themselves about the resolutions adopted at fall and spring plenary sessions, and
b. enforce and implement these resolutions on their campuses, and
c. use, as needed, the resources and support provided by the Academic Senate for local education and implementation of Academic Senate resolutions; such resources include, but are not limited to, ombudsperson, technical assistance program at different levels, focused workshops, and the summer leadership institute, and

Resolved that the Academic Senate direct the Executive Committee to continue to advocate vigorously for Academic Senate positions with elected state leaders, the Board of Governors, Chancellor's Office staff, the Legislature, and state agencies and groups.
