Welcome to a description of how CALS is governed and how shared governance works. Shared Governance at the University of Arizona and CALS can be described as a general commitment on the part of faculty, staff, students, and administration to work together to strengthen and enhance the college and the university. Shared governance reflects mutual respect and trust in the university community for contributions by all members (from UA Shared Governance Guidelines).

See the CALS Guidelines for Governance and Operation.
