California State University: tenure-track positions.

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. The California State University (CSU) comprises, and provides instruction at, 23 institutions of higher education throughout the state. This bill would express legislative findings and declarations relating to the CSU faculty. This bill would require the Office of the CSU Chancellor, together with the Academic Senate of the CSU and the California Faculty Association, to implement an executive plan developed pursuant to a specified concurrent resolution of the Legislature to increase the percentage of tenured and tenure-track CSU faculty to 75%. The bill would specify, for each academic year from 2018–19 to 2025–26, inclusive, target numbers of new tenure-track positions. The bill would require additional conditions to be met in implementing this executive plan. Commencing with the 2018–19 academic year, the bill would further require CSU to issue annual reports relating to implementation efforts, funding, and effective strategies and best practices, as specified.
