Existing law requires the trustees to establish and adjust the salaries and classifications of all academic, nonacademic, and administrative positions.

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 require the trustees, on or before July 1, 2027, to repeal a resolution approving executive compensation at the November 2025 meeting of the trustees.
