           SUBJECT  :    Trustees of the California State University:   
          student members

           SOURCE  :     California State Student Association


           DIGEST  :    This bill changes the requirements for services as a  
          student trustee on the California State University (CSU) Board  
          of Trustees (BOT), as specified.

                                                                CONTINUED

           Assembly Amendments  add double-jointing language to AB 447  
          (Williams) to avoid chaptering-out issues and make technical  
          changes.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law establishes CSU administered by a  
          board designated as the Trustees of the CSU.  Existing law  
          defines the composition, appointments, terms, powers, and  
          functions of the Board of Trustees.  The composition of the  
          Trustees of the CSU includes:

          1. Five ex-officio members:

             A.    The Governor. 
             B.    Lieutenant Governor.
             C.    Speaker of the Assembly. 
             D.    Superintendent of Public Instruction.
             E.    The CSU Chancellor.

          2. Sixteen Governor Appointees confirmed by two-thirds of the  
             Senate each serving an eight-year term.

          3. One alumni association representative appointed by the  
             Governor serving a two-year term.

          4. One CSU faculty representative appointed by the Governor  
             serving a two-year term.

          5. Two student members with at least junior standing, appointed  
             by the Governor, serving staggered two-year terms.  One  
             student trustee has full voting powers; the second,  
             non-voting student trustee succeeds to the voting position  
             upon the expiration of the term of the first. 

          This bill changes the requirements for services as a student  
          trustee on the CSU BOT.  Specifically, this bill:

          1. Changes the grade level requirement for serving on the CSU  
             BOT from students who have at least junior standing to  
             students with at least sophomore year standing.

          2. Requires that the tuition fee be waived for student members  
             of the CSU BOT for the duration of their terms of office.

          3. Adds double-jointing language to AB 447 (Williams) to avoid
