ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECfORY I 13
THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGES
The individual California State Colleges were brought together as a system by the
Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960. In 1972 the system became The California State
University and Colleges and fourteen of the nineteen campuses received the title University.
The oldest campus-San Jose State University-was founded in 1857 and became the First
institution of public higher education in California. The newest campus-California State
College, Bakersfield-began instruction in 1970.
Responsibility for The California State University and Colleges is vested in the Board of
Trustees, whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Trustees appoint the
Chancellor, who is the chief executive officer of the system, and the Presidents, who are the
chief executive officers on the respective campuses.
The Trustees, the Chancellor, and the Presidents develop systemwide policy, with actual
implementation at the campus level taking place through broadly based consultative
procedures. The Academic Senate of The California State University and Colleges, made up
of elected representatives of the faculty from each campus, recommends academic policy
to the Board of Trustees through the Chancellor.
Academic excellence has been achieved by The California State University and Colleges
through a distinguished faculty, whose primary responsibility is superior teaching. While
each campus in the system has its own unique geographic and curricular character, all
campuses, as multipurpose institutions, offer undergraduate and graduate instruction for
professional and occupational goals as well as broad liberal education. All of the campuses
require for graduation a basic program of "General Education-Breadth Requirements"
regardless of the type of bachelor's degree or major field selected by the student. A limited
number of doctoral degrees are offered jointly with the University of California.
Presently, under the system's "New Approach to Hi'gher Education," the campuses are
implementing a wide variety of innovative programs to meet the changing needs of students
and society. Among pilot programs under way are instructional television projects, self-paced
learning plans, minicourses, and credit-by-examination alternatives. The Consortium of The
California State University and Colleges fosters and sponsors local, regional, and statewide
external degree and certificate programs to meet the needs of individuals who find it difficult
or impossible to attend classes on a campus.
Enrollments in fall 1976 totaled approximately 300,000 students, who were taught by a
faculty of 17,000. Last year the system awarded over 53 percent of the bachelor's degrees and
34 percent of the master's degrees granted in California. Almost 600,000 persons have been
graduated from the nineteen campuses since 1960.
