Campus Consultation with Faculty before Establishing
Enrollment Targets and Enrollment
Management Policies for an Admissions Cycle

AS-2569-02/AA - May 2-3, 2002

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University urge the Trustees and the Chancellor of the California State University (CSU) to establish as CSU policy the following:

• The presidents of the individual campuses shall consult with the Academic Senate of their campuses each year before developing enrollment targets and enrollment management practices implications for the next admission cycle.

RATIONALE: Section 3561(b) of HEERA (Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act) recognizes that joint decision making and consultation between the administration and the faculty are central to the mission of the California State University (CSU). It has long been the policy of the CSU that faculty have primary responsibility for curriculum. Admissions and enrollment management are so closely connected to curriculum and the academic programs of the university that the policy of the CSU should recognize the role of faculty in these areas.
