College Governance: Purpose and Impact

College governance establishes a structured and transparent framework for decision-making, ensuring that academic departments operate effectively within the broader university system. Governance policies, such as departmental bylaws, provide clear guidelines for roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes, fostering collaboration and accountability among faculty, staff, and administration. These structures support academic integrity, strategic planning, and resource allocation, ultimately enhancing the institution’s ability to fulfill its educational, research, and outreach missions.
