Philosophy
MCC affirms and supports shared governance, which is the formal process of collaborating, delegating, recommending, and making decisions related to the issues affecting MCC.
Everyone at the College is valued and shared governance recognizes and takes into account the roles and expertise of trustees, faculty, staff, administrators, officers, and students. MCC is committed to utilizing the expertise of all constituents to inform decision making as appropriate.
