Until fall semester of 2001, the faculty at Cuesta College made its professional decisions through a Senate Council, composed of nine at-large elected representatives. Those representatives were advised by a body called Townhall, which was composed of divisional representatives. In the spring of 2001, Cuesta faculty voted to restructure the Senate so that it would be one body composed of divisional representatives, a North County rep, a part-time rep, an at-large rep and elected officers. The body meets twice a month on the second and forth Fridays. Our Constitution can be found following the AB1725 regulations. The Senate also has a venue for informally discussing issues with the Administration. Twice a month the Senate president and vice president meet with the College president and vice president of instruction to discuss academic and professional matters. These meetings are called “Sizzler,” a name that derives from a time when the meetings took place off campus at a restaurant so-named. The faculty can bring issues to the Senate and ask that those concerns be taken to Sizzler. No final decisions are reached at Sizzler. All substantive issues are reported back to Senate for action.
