- governance of the University.

AP&P Community Agreements for Engagement:
The Senate Academic Policy and Planning Committee is committed to shared governance based on trust and rooted in SDSU’s three key principles: respect, communication, and responsibility.
We agree to follow these guiding principles when conducting our work. We will:
- focus the purpose of our meetings on our approved agenda; and
- engage with each other respectfully and reject biased or harassing speech, whether via email, virtual chat, or conversation; and
- honor the process of developing thoughtful policy that considers unintended consequences; in particular we will avoid sharing beyond this committee drafts of in-progress items that are not ready for broader review; and
- represent our respective units/constituencies rather than our individual or disciplinary interests; and
- approach our work thoughtfully and deliberatively.
