By legislation, the Faculty Senate is represented on the Statewide Academic Senate and, through it, on the California Community College Board of Governors. Please see 10+1+1 for the role of the Faculty Senate, and AP2510 for the Palomar Governing Board description of Faculty Senate. Palomar Faculty Senate is committed to Anti-Racism, and we acknowledge the indigenous peoples of this land.
