For example, a Council may have periods in its meetings which are open for comments by those who are not members of the Council. Also, any LCC constituent can initiate a question for a Council if the question is presented to the Council by a Council member. Each Council will address questions raised by one or more of its members. A council may create committees which will report to that Council. Members of Council committees may or may not be Council members.
Councils can work jointly through jointly created committees.
Administrators may create groups to implement college policies. Those groups will report to the administrators who created them, not to college Councils. Additionally, college divisions, departments and programs are expected to create appropriate shared governance and implementation bodies. These other college groups do not report to Councils. All constituents and groups must have genuine opportunities to be informed about the Councils' business.
