Public postsecondary education: California Community Colleges.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, which are administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board to employ and fix the compensation, in accordance with law, of assistants, clerical, and other employees as it deems necessary for the effective conduct of the work of the board and the chancellor's office. This bill would authorize the board to appoint an individual without permanent civil service status to a position classified as a career executive assignment, for the positions of vice chancellor or assistant vice chancellor, if the individual has a minimum of 5 years of specified work experience, previously held permanent status in the civil service, was employed by the Legislature for 2 or more consecutive years, or held for 2 or more consecutive years one or more nonelected exempt positions in the executive branch.
