Introduction - East Los Angeles College

The Functional Map is currently being discussed by college Academic Senates and shared
governance councils across the district. Vice Chancellor Gary Colombo met with members of the
East Los Angeles College Shared Governance Council and Academic Senate executive board in
early December. In winter/spring 2009, it will be evaluated and further refined by the District
Academic Senate and be a focus of the Board of Trustees’ annual retreat. By spring, sections of
the Functional Map—including the listing of all district-wide councils and committees and the
functional flow charts—will be added as links on the District website for the use of faculty and
staff.
The college administration has developed a campus-wide organizational chart delineating
administrative and supervision oversight as well as for each campus division and department. In
addition, each Department Chair was provided an orientation and a Department Chair’s
Handbook for reference to clarify each department’s operational responsibilities and
considerations.
