College Council

Although a self-perpetuating board of trustees legally governs Centre, its academic and community life is managed to a large degree by the faculty, staff, and students. The primary body in campus governance is the College Council, a representative body of faculty, staff, and students. The Student Government Association elects eight students, and the President of the Student Government Association and President of the Student Senate serve as ex officio voting members. The President of the College, as chair of the council, shall be an ex-officio member of every council committee. There are nine standing committees of the College Council, through which much of the business of the Council is conducted.

Each fall a listing of membership for these and other appointed committees of the College are published and distributed by the Academic Deans’ office. Students are appointed in reasonable proportion to all committees, and carry equal responsibility with other members — except that they do not participate in consideration of matters concerning the confidential records of other students.
