Institutional Planning Committees

The following graphic illustrates the primary groups that comprise College of San Mateo's integrated planning model.
Four committees (Educational Equity, Finance, Safety, and Technology Advisory) report directly to the Institutional Planning Committee (IPC).
"A graphic of the CSM participatory governance committee reporting structure. Central is the Institutional Planning Committee (IPC), which makes recommendations to the College President, who in turn makes recommendations to the district Chancellor and Board of Trustees on non-academic matters. IPC has five standing subcommittees: Educational Equity, Finance, Professional Development, Safety, and Technology Advisory. IPC may also have ad hoc task forces that make recommendations to the body. Three related bodies also have relationships to IPC: Associated Students (ASCSM), Classified Senate, and Academic Senate. Each of the three bodies officially represents their constituency to IPC and its subcommittees. Of the three bodies, Academic Senate is unique in having purview over academic and over professional matters as they relate to faculty, and may make recommendations on such matters to District Academic Senate and to administration, bypassing IPC. Academic Senate has three standing subcommittees: Teaching and Learning, Curriculum, and Distance Education Advisory."
