Connecticut College
PA-3: Inclusive and Participatory Governance

The purpose of the Student Government Association is to consider issues and to formulate policies in areas primarily or exclusively involving the student body. Such areas shall include, but not be limited to, matters of social, academic and co-curricular policies. The association also seeks to provide extended channels of communication, increased areas of cooperation and a greater acceptance of shared responsibility between faculty, administration and the student body in matters of general and academic interests. https://www.conncoll.edu/at-a-glance/honor-code-shared-governance/student-governance/

The Faculty Steering and Conference Committee (FSCC) provides leadership for the faculty as a whole on all matters of
College policy. In this capacity, the committee has a dual responsibility;
(1) to act as the voice of the faculty in various forums and
(2) to provide faculty leadership in matters concerning the entire College.

The FSCC represents the faculty in conference with the Board of Trustees, students and the administration. In all its functions, the committee represents the interests of the entire faculty. (see attached document)

The Connecticut College Staff Council's mission is to be recognized as a reliable voice between staff and the administration. The Council solicits and expresses opinions, represents staff concerns, and makes suggestions and recommendations to the administration on behalf of the entire staff. It strives to promote visibility of staff as valuable members of the community and facilitate a sense of belonging within the community. The Staff Council actively seeks to involve all segments of the College's diverse staff through the interaction with other active staff committees as well as all individual staff members. https://www.conncoll.edu/at-a-glance/honor-code-shared-governance/staff-council/
