BILL NUMBER:  AB 2386
  VETOED	DATE: 09/21/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2386 without my signature.

This bill would require one of my appointments to the California
State University (CSU) Board of Trustees to be a permanent
non-faculty employee of the CSU, preselected by a newly created
systemwide staff council.

While the knowledge and perspective of rank-and-file employees should
be sought out and considered within the decision-making authority of
the board, I am not convinced that constraining the Gubernatorial
appointments process is necessary when other alternatives could
achieve the same result.

I would advise both the Trustees and the Chancellor to find ways to
utilize the expertise of non-faculty employees in considering the
many issues that come before the board.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
