Welcome to the ASCC Governance page. Here you will find recent
agendas, senate packets, meeting dates, and all the ASCC's governing
documents. These pages serve as an important resource for students to
understand the business side of the ASCC and learn how they work.
Since the ASCC Executive Senate members are elected officials, all ASCC business is bound by the California legislation known as the
Ralph M. Brown Act that was passed in 1953 to help make all business of elected officials as transparent as possible to protect the rights
and interests of the public by allowing the public to be informed of, attend, and participate in meetings of these elected officials. For the
ASCC, the majority of the interested public would be the student body, although anyone may attend an ASCC senate meeting. For further understanding of the
Ralph M. Brown Act, please click link: Ralph M. Brown Act
The ASCC Constitution states that all business shall be conducted as per
Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised; this is usually
abbreviated as "RONR." Robert's Rules of Order is the name of a
book rules on parliamentary procedure that was originally written by a
General Henry M. Robert in 1876 and has been revised eleven times as of
2011 its original publication in 1876, hence the reason why the
Constitution and bylaws usually state they will follow the "newly
revised" version. For further understanding of the Robert's Rules
of Order, please click link: Robert's Rules of Order
Chabot College is part of Region 4 of the Student Senate for
California Community Colleges (SSCCC). For further understanding
