Collegial governance is defined as the collaborative participation of representative members of the College in planning for the future and in developing policies, procedures, and recommendations under which the College is governed and administered.

The Pierce College Council is composed of representatives of all college constituencies with the intention that faculty, staff, and students have the right to participate effectively in the decision making process at the campus level.  It is in this spirit of collegial governance that the College Council has been formed to serve as the body which makes planning and budget recommendations to the College President.

All constituent groups of the College Council share the responsibility of acting jointly in recommending policies and procedures that will guide the College toward its goals, ensuring that the college can effectively fulfill its mission.
