The Academic Senate of the California State University consists of
fifty-one faculty members elected by their colleagues at the twenty-three
individual universities comprising the California State University system.
The Senate, founded in 1963, recommends academic policies to the Board of
Trustees and the Chancellor.
The Executive Committee of the statewide Academic Senate, led by the
Senate Chair, organizes the activities of the Senate and is principally
responsible for representing the Senate in its dealings with many groups,
including the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor and his staff, the
California State Student Association, the CSU Alumni Council, statewide
policymakers, and the public. With offices at the CSU Headquarters in
Long Beach, the Senate operates throughout the year as an agency of CSU
faculty governance.
