California State University: board of trustees: membership.

Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Under existing law, the board of trustees is composed of a total of 25 members, which includes 5 specified ex officio members, a representative of the alumni associations of the university, 16 members appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by 23 of the membership of the Senate, for 8-year terms, and 2 California State University students and one California State University tenured faculty member appointed by the Governor for 2-year terms. This bill would decrease the 16 members appointed by the Governor to 14, one of which would be required to be a faculty member, and another one of which would be required to be a represented permanent nonacademic employee, at the California State University. The bill would also increase the number of California State University students appointed by the Governor to 4, as specified. The bill also would prohibit faculty and nonacademic employee members appointed for 8-year terms from sitting on a collective bargaining subcommittee of the board, and would require them to be employed by the university for at least 2 years and at the time of employment, but not for the duration of the appointment.
