This document sets forth the Governance Plan of Scottsdale Community College.

Historically at Scottsdale Community College, both the faculty and administration have agreed to a division and department organizational structure. (See Appendix A) This Governance Plan was negotiated by representatives of the Faculty Senate and the administration in accordance with Appendix D, of the current Residential Faculty Policies.

A division is the organizational unit of the college composed of faculty from one or more disciplines and/or departments. The purpose of a division is to coordinate instructional programs and to meet the educational need of students. It is led by a faculty member who is elected by division faculty to serve as division chair. The division chair is responsible for the educational program of the division.
