Smith, Ed.D. October 1998, reviewed 2018  \nDesign and Processing: Samantha DeMelo © Community College League of California  \nStudent trustees have been members of local community college  \ngoverning boards since 1977. Local governing boards determine their  \nprivileges and establish procedures to elect student trustees. Boards, as well as college administrators, establish the environment and expectations for student trustees.  \nThis paper explores the roles and responsibilities of student trustees from two different perspectives or points of view. It is intended to promote discussion among trustees, associated student representatives (A.S.), and college administrators to help clarify expectations of student trustees and the role they play. It was developed by the League’s Advisory Committee on Education Services in response to concerns about differing assumptions about the role of student trustees on the board.  \nThe concerns expressed include frustration about limits on the student trustee role, disagreements over whether or not the student trustee is a representative of or advocate for the student body, disagreements over the extent to which the student trustee is considered to be a regular member of the board, the ability of the student to productively contribute to the board, and the time and support that should be devoted to the student trustee position.  \nFrustration, lack of clarity, and differences of opinion about student trustees’roles and responsibilities reduce their potential effectiveness as members of the board. Student trustee effectiveness may be enhanced if assumptions and expectations about the role are explored, clarified, and made public, and if related practices and the support provided to the student trustees are aligned with the expectations for their role.  \nBACKGROUND: STUDENT ROLES IN GOVERNANCE  \nIn 1977, the student trustee seat on local governing boards was established in law. The California Education Code (Section 72023 .5) reads:  \n72023.5. (a) The governing board of each community college districtshall order the inclusion within the membership of the governing board, in addition to the number of members otherwise prescribed, of one or more nonvoting students who are residents of California as determined pursuant to Part 41 (commencing with Section 68000) . These students shall have the right to attend each and all meetings of the governing board, except that student members shall not have the right, or be afforded the opportunity, to attend executive sessions of the governing board.  \nThe students in a district select the student board member(s) in accordance with procedures established by the governing board. The board also determines which privileges are granted to the student trustees (a survey of district practices is available on the League’s website) .  \nAB 1725 charged the Board of Governors to develop, in cooperation with district and student representatives, a plan for encouraging greater student participation in appropriate aspects of campus, district, and systemwide governance. The ensuing regulations identified the associated student organization (or its equivalent) as the representative body to offer opinions and to make recommendations to the college administration and governing board with regard to policies and procedures that have a significant effect on students.  \nTWO PERSPECTIVES ON THE STUDENT TRUSTEE ROLE  \nThere are two general perspectives on the role of the student trustee in local governance. One emphasizes the “student” nature of the role; the other emphasizes the “trustee” aspect of the position. The different views reflect different assumptions about the role and person’s responsibilities. The perspectives are not necessarily exclusive; student trustees may find themselves integrating, b","cbCaibbDg4gHRZud","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibbDg4gHRZud","pdf",408806,12,"English","# Background: Student Roles in Governance\n## Legal foundation and selection process\n## Associated student representation in governance\n# Two Perspectives on the Student Trustee Role\n## Perspective One: Representative of the Students\n## Joint responsibilities and administrative support","[{\"question\":\"When were student trustees established on local community college governing boards?\",\"answer\":\"Student trustees have been members of local community college governing boards since 1977, established in law.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the California Education Code require regarding nonvoting student members?\",\"answer\":\"It requires each community college district governing board to include one or more nonvoting student residents of California, with rights to attend meetings except executive sessions.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two general perspectives on the student trustee role?\",\"answer\":\"One emphasizes the “student” nature of the role and representation of currently enrolled students; the other emphasizes the “trustee” aspect of the position.\"}]","Perspectives on the Role of Student Trustees - Background and Two Perspectives | PDF",1792047571]
