Whereas AB 1725 has mandated shared governance, and
Whereas Senate resolutions since 1970 ask for greater faculty participation in accreditation, yet faculty participation remains token on visiting teams,

2. Assistant to chair
3. Distribution of preliminary report

5. Faculty review of visiting team report
6. Faculty training in accreditation
7. Use of the Senate document "Accreditation: Evaluating the Collective Faculty"
8. Academic Senate involvement in choosing visiting team members
