<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law requires the trustees to establish and adjust the salaries and classifications of all academic, nonacademic, and administrative positions.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would prohibit the trustees from establishing or adjusting the compensation of an administrator, manager, contractor, or other employee who is not represented by an employee organization to an amount that exceeds 125% of the compensation of the Governor. The bill would also prohibit the trustees, for any fiscal year in which the trustees authorize an increase in student tuition, from increasing the compensation of the employees identified above. The bill would require the trustees, on
or before July 1, 2027, to repeal a resolution approving executive compensation at the November 2025 meeting of the trustees.</html:p>
