The Classified Senate is an advisory body to the College Board of Trustees. California state laws and regulations require that the college have a system for gathering classified employee input on governance matters likely to have a "significant effect" on classified staff.

The Classified Senate does not get involved in anything having to do with wages, benefits, or terms and conditions of employment.

Any employee or member of the public may attend Classified Senate meetings. All employees participating in general Classified Senate meetings do so on personal time under the current rules.
