The California State University Board of Trustees is launching a nationwide search for the next president of Cal State LA.
Following CSU policy, the Chair of the CSU Trustees, Wenda Fong, has appointed a Trustees Committee for the Selection of the President. An Advisory Committee to the Trustees' Committee is composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the campus' constituency groups per their selection criteria. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus, and a president of another CSU campus—both selected by the chancellor in consultation with the Board Chair. Both committees function as one unified group in the search process.
