4CS Position Papers
The California Community Colleges Classified Senate has been researching, discussing and preparing informational position papers for your use. These position papers reflect the experience of the 4CS members across the state and provide classified perspectives on important issues. We feel a need to share our understandings and recommendations surrounding these issues for educational purposes. The 4CS hopes these position papers will serve as a resource for sharing information, initiate constructive discussion and provide guidance for positive change.
Comments on the documents, and requests for additional information, are welcome.
For those who are unfamiliar with the statewide classified senate (4CS), or have heard of 4CS through classified channels, we encourage you to read these documents and contact your local 4CS Area Representative to learn more about us.
The California Community Colleges Classified Senate supports, coordinates and encourages classified staff to participate in governance. 4CS is NOT a classified labor union. 4CS is the state-wide classified governance body, made up of the volunteer member classified senates and councils from across the state.
Before and after AB1725 was introduced in 1988, classified staff have developed classified senates and councils to effectively participate in community college shared or participatory governance (non-collective bargaining issues). The state wide classified senate has operated as a cohesive group for those organizations for many years, offering networking, workshops at annual conventions, and a yearly leadership institute.
These papers share the position of the 4CS on issues that effect most all campus in California. Please share these documents with anyone you feel would benefit by them. From time to time, we reserve the right to update these papers as needed to keep them current. Please honor our copyright restrictions on their use. Thank you.
