加州社区学院学术参议院成立于1970年，是一个501(c)6非盈利组织。Created for the promotion and advancement of public community college education in California, its general purposes are:

1.To strengthen local academic senates and councils of community colleges;

2.To serve as the voice of the faculty of the community colleges in matters of statewide concern;

3.To develop policies and promote the implementation of policies on matters of statewide issues;

The Academic Senate gets its authority to strengthen local senates on California community colleges statewide from the California Code of Regulations Title 5 Section 53206, which says:

(a)加州社区学院的学术参议院已经通过当地学术参议院或教员理事会的批准而成立，这样加州社区学院的教员就可以有一个正式而有效的程序来参与制定有关学术和专业事务的州政策。

(b)The Board of Governors recognizes the Academic Senate of the California Community Colleges as the representative of community college academic senates or faculty councils before the Board of Governors and Chancellor's Office.
