Committees

Committees on campus

Cross campus committees are a collaboration between members of the President’s Cabinet, Academic Affairs, Administration and Finance, Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, University Advancement, University Enterprises and the Academic Senate working to execute priorities set by the CSU and by the President of the University.

The membership of these committees represent a diverse cross-section of the University community. They include University deans, faculty, associate vice presidents, directors, staff and students to ensure these committees have multiple perspectives that will help advance the University's mission.

Committee formation

Committees are formed upon the charge of the SFSU’s President to achieve certain initiatives. Generally, committees have a charter or charge that establishes the priorities and responsibilities of the committee, the committee membership and the meeting procedures. Committee members are appointed via a charge letter that sets forth expectations for involvement in the committee.

Process:

  • President or Vice President sponsors initiative to form a committee
  • President appoints members to the committee via a charge letter based on their role
  • Committee members accept positions on the committee
  • Committee members develop committee charge or charter
  • Committee charge or charter is approved by the committee, the appropriate Vice President, and the President
  • Committee working groups are established
  • Regular committee meetings commence
  • An annual review process is conducted whereby the committee reports out on its work
