California State University and University of California: compensation.

(1) Existing law establishes the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the University of California under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. This bill would prohibit the trustees from entering into or renewing, and would request the regents not to enter into or renew, a contract that provides for a compensation increase, as defined, for any administrator, as defined, using state moneys or moneys in a fiscal year from tuition or fees if the amount of General Fund moneys appropriated to the respective segment in the annual Budget Act is less than the amount of moneys appropriated to that segment in the annual Budget Act for the immediately preceding fiscal year, or if tuition or fees have been increased in the same fiscal year. This bill would prohibit the trustees from entering into, or renewing, a contract that provides for the compensation of a president of a campus of the California State University to exceed $300,000, as adjusted annually by the percentage of inflation, as specified. The bill would request the regents not to enter into, or renew, a contract that provides for the compensation of a chancellor of a campus of the University of California to exceed $326,000, as adjusted annually by the percentage of inflation, as specified. (2) The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
