A 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.

Abstract

Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide that the University of California constitutes a public trust, and require 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. Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide that the regents consist of 7 ex officio members, and 18 members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate, a majority of the membership concurring, for 12-year terms. The California Constitution authorizes the board of regents to appoint a student or faculty member of the university, or both, to the board, as specified. This measure would reduce the terms of regents appointed by the Governor for terms commencing on or after the effective date of the measure to 10 years, and would prohibit these regents from serving more than 2 terms on the board, as specified. The measure would provide that regents serving on the board on the effective date of the measure who had served more than one term, as specified, could continue to serve until the expiration of their terms, but would not be eligible for reappointment to the board. The measure would also provide that regents serving in their first terms on the board on the effective date of the measure, as specified, would be eligible for reappointment to the board for no more than one additional term. Notwithstanding the provisions of the measure described above, the measure would make a member appointed to fill a vacancy on the board eligible for reappointment to the board for no more than one term.
