Trustees of the California State University: nonfaculty employees.

Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University. Existing law provides for the membership of the Trustees of the California State University to include 5 specified ex officio members, 16 members appointed by the Governor and subject to confirmation by the Senate, one representative of the alumni associations, 2 student members appointed by the Governor, and a faculty member appointed by the Governor. This bill would revise the membership of the board of trustees by requiring the Governor also to appoint a permanent nonfaculty employee of the university for a 2-year term, as specified. The bill would require a systemwide staff council, as specified, to provide to the Governor a list of 2 nominees for the Governor's consideration, and would require the Governor to appoint one of the nominees. The bill would provide that the permanent nonfaculty employee member of the board shall receive actual and necessary travel expenses and $100 for each day he or she is attending to official business of the trustees. This bill would incorporate changes to Section 66602 of the Education Code proposed by AB 2324, to become operative if AB 2324 and this bill are chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2015, and this bill is chaptered last.
