Participatory governance at Modesto Junior College is a system designed to include faculty, staff, students, and administrators in the decision-making process. This inclusive approach ensures that diverse viewpoints are considered, promoting effective collaboration in managing college operations and strategic planning. The goal of participatory governance is to provide everyone in the college community with an opportunity to express their opinions on important issues, ensuring that these views are seriously considered in the decision-making process.
The structure of participatory governance at MJC involves a range of committees and councils, each focusing on different aspects of college life, such as budgeting, facilities, and student success. These bodies are responsible for discussing issues, making recommendations, and ensuring that all voices are heard. This system of regular communication and structured input helps the college make decisions in a transparent and collaborative manner. By involving a wide range of participants, MJC aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can contribute to the college's mission and goals.
