Members of the
JOINT POLICY COUNCIL
on AGRICULTURE AND HIGHER EDUCATION

"[T]he Commission urges the administrative heads of the respective systems to create a permanent standing body specifically charged to nurture these [collaborative] efforts. The Commission proposes that this group be titled "The Joint Policy Council on Agriculture and Higher Education" (Policy Council) and recommends that its membership consist of the UC Vice President for Agriculture and Natural Resources, the Chancellors of UC campuses at Berkeley, Davis and Riverside, the Presidents of CSU campuses at Chico, Fresno, Pomona and San Luis Obispo, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and a President of a Community College with a strong agricultural program. In addition, the Chair of the Advisory Board (see below) should also serve on the Policy Council. It is recommended that the Policy Council be co-chaired by the UC Vice President for Agriculture and Natural Resources and a President of one of the CSU campuses."
