LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 452, Poochigian. California State University: Kenneth L. Maddy Institute. Existing law establishes the California State University and its various campuses under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University. Existing law establishes the Kenneth L. Maddy Institute as a part of the public administration program of the College of Social Sciences at California State University, Fresno. Existing law requires that instruction at the institute be provided by the faculty of the public administration or political science programs at that campus, supplemented by discussions with active and retired public officials. Existing law also requires that the institute and its curriculum be directed by the Kenneth L. Maddy Professor of Public Administration at California State University, Fresno, under the direction of the Dean of the College of Social Sciences at California State University, Fresno. This bill would require that the institute be administered by the President of California State University, Fresno, and organized as a nonprofit organization governed by a board of trustees. The bill would provide that an executive director would be responsible for implementing the institute's mission and supervising its daily operations. The bill would require that instruction at the institute be provided primarily by the California State University, Fresno. The bill would delete the requirement that the institute and its curriculum be directed by the Kenneth L. Maddy Professor of Public Administration, under the direction of the Dean of the College of Social Sciences. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
