INTRODUCTION TO SHARED GOVERNANCE
In the spirit of fostering collaboration, communication, and access to information among its faculty, staff, administrators, and students, mini传媒入口 (PC) is committed to decision making through a deliberate and intentional process of Shared Governance.

ORGANIZATION
While numerous groups at mini传媒入口 demonstrate Shared Governance in their decision making processes, institutional decision making at mini传媒入口 utilizes three Interest Councils, the Tri-Chairs Council, the Budget Steering Team (BST), and the College Executive Team (CET). These groups effectively address the interests of campus constituents and practice the principles of interest-based problem solving (IBPS) to achieve consensus.

- Academic Interests Council
