We are seeking volunteers from the CSUSM community, including faculty, staff, and students, to participate in this important work.

The University has defined the scope of APERC responsibilities as follows:

  • Review and provide feedback to existing and new CSUSM administrative policies and procedures with a focus on fairness, inclusiveness, and minimizing systemic barriers.
  • Following APERC policy review, propose potential solutions or suggested language changes aimed at improving access, representation, and support for all members of the campus community.
