A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:
The CSU Board of Trustees is a 25-member governance board that adopts regulations and policies governing the entire CSU system. This group governs the CSU system as a whole and is the highest governing board for the system, but may not routinely have representative members from Cal State LA specifically. Board committees have authority over educational policy, finance, campus planning, and facilities, among other areas.
Membership of the board of trustees is composed of five (5) ex-officio Trustees (including the governor of CA, the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the assembly, the state superintendent of public instruction, and the CSU chancellor), and nineteen (19) trustees who are generally appointed by the Governor.
Of the nineteen (19) governor-appointed trustees, two (2) are students, one (1) is an alumni from the CSU Statewide Alumni Council, one (1) is faculty from the Statewide Academic Senate, and the others represent diverse stakeholder groups from across the state.
For more information on the CSU Board of Trustees, please visit: https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/Pages/default.aspx
For more information about current membership of the Board of Trustees, please visit: https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/meet-the-board-of-trustees.
The Associated Students of Cal State LA, Inc. (ASI), serves as the formal voice of the student body and provides funding for student engagement, programs, and services that support student success. ASI is governed by the Board of Directors, a representative body consisting of 21 elected and appointed student officers. ASI recruits students to serve on dozens of University-wide committees, through which, students provide a voice and opinion in the shared governance of the University.
The Cal State LA Academic Senate is a representative body serving as the voice of the faculty in creating University policies. The Academic Senate membership includes faculty from each of the colleges, 6 students, administrators, and staff providing a collective voice in the governance of the University.
Collective Bargaining Units represent CSU employees in labor relations and negotiate with the employer regarding the scope of the employment relationship which sometimes relates to governance matters. Current bargaining agreements for the CSU are organized as follows: Unit 1 Union of American Physicians and Dentists; Units 2, 5, 7, and 9 CSU Employees Union; Unit 3, CA Faculty Association, Unit 4 Academic Professionals of CA, Unit 6 Teamsters Local 2010, Unit 8 Statewide University Police Association, Unit 10 International Union of Operating Engineers, Unit 11 Academic Student Employees, Unit 13 CSUEU English Language Program Instructors Cal State LA, and Unit 14 CSUEU English Language Program Instructors, CSU Monterey Bay. Employees are elected to leadership positions within each bargaining unit. (https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/faculty-staff/labor-and-employee-relations)
