Governance
San Diego City College is governed through a "shared governance" process where the college is headed by a President who acts as chief executive officer and is responsible for carrying out districtwide policies as directed by the District's Chancellor, as approved by the District's Board of Trustees.
Within the college, shared governance activities involve faculty, students and staff in the development of solutions to key policy and college-related issues. The different governing bodies in the governance process assist in the communication of the nature and the necessities of college projects throughout the college community. The college's institutional governance is structured to promote a process of independent and critical thinking based on observation, questioning and research protocols. This governance process is participatory, meaning that all vested interest groups or individuals have the opportunity to voice opinions and in turn achieve decisions formulated based on the creativity of participating groups.
The governing body will make recommendations, through the College President, to the District's Chancellor and the Board of Trustees.
