CaliforniaA resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 9 of Article IX thereof, relating to the University of California.
What it does
The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust, and requires the university to be administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes. The California Constitution requires the board to consist of 7 ex officio members and 18 appointive members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. The California Constitution authorizes the members of the board to appoint either a member of the faculty at a campus of the university or of another institution of higher education, or a person enrolled as a student at a campus of the university, or both, as members of the board serving for no less than one year with all rights of participation.
More detail
Beginning on July 1, 2027, this measure would require, instead of authorize, the members of the board to appoint to the board for 2-year terms, 2 undergraduate students and 2 graduate students enrolled at a campus of the university for each regular academic term during their service as members of the board, as provided. The measure would require each student board member to serve as a nonvoting student regent-designate in the first year of their 2-year term, and would authorize a student member who graduates from the university on or after January 1 of the 2nd year of the student member's 2-year term to serve the remainder of their term.
