SUMMARY : Congratulates the California State University system
on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, commends the invaluable
contributions it has made to the intellectual and social growth
of its students, and extends best wishes for its continued
success in the future. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)The California State Colleges was established as a system by
the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960. In 1972, the system
became known as the California State University and Colleges
and in 1982 the system became the California State University
(CSU).
2)Today, the 23 campuses of the CSU include comprehensive and
polytechnic universities and, since July 1995, the California
Maritime Academy, a specialized campus.
3)CSU offers more than 2,000 baccalaureate and masters degree
programs in some 357 subject areas; and, since 1961, the CSU
has awarded nearly 2,500,000 baccalaureate, masters, and joint
doctoral degrees.
4)CSU faculty members are renowned for their teaching skills and
significant contributions to research and together with CSU
staff and administrators provide the infrastructure to fulfill
the CSU mission and have made the CSU a leader in
high-quality, accessible, and student-focused higher
education.
5)The CSU will celebrate its 50th anniversary during 2010 and
2011; and, upon this occasion, it is deserving of special
