California State University, Monterey Bay
PA-3: Inclusive and Participatory Governance

Since fall 1996, the Faculty of CSU Monterey Bay has exercised its rights and fulfilled its responsibilities in the shared governance of the University, by working through two formal bodies: an inclusive Academic Assembly, and a representative Academic Senate.

The Associated Students of California State University, Monterey Bay is an organization that seeks to serve, empower, and represent students in all areas of student concern. We engage in an active role in the decisions, actions, and the affairs of our university through advocacy and equitable governance.

Non-Academic staff are represented through many different unions represented on our campus:

California State University Employees Union (CSUEU)

Academic Professional of California (APC)

Teamsters Local 2010

Statewide University Police Association (SUPA)

California Faculty Association (CFA)

Academic Student Employees (UAW)

Unrepresented Employees Policies and Programs
