Bill > AB958

This bill amends the composition of the California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees by increasing the board's size from 25 to 27 members. Specifically, the bill adds one additional gubernatorial appointee and one additional faculty member to the board. The bill requires the Governor to appoint faculty members from a list of at least four names annually provided by the Academic Senate of the California State University. The two faculty members will serve two-year terms, with one beginning their term on July 1 of an odd-numbered year and the other on July 1 of an even-numbered year. The new faculty members must be tenured at a CSU campus and are prohibited from participating in board subcommittees responsible for collective bargaining negotiations. The bill maintains existing provisions that board members should be outstanding California citizens who represent the state's demographic diversity and bring their own independent thinking to board discussions. This change aims to enhance representation and expertise on the CSU Board of Trustees by expanding its membership and establishing a more structured appointment process for faculty representatives.
