Overview

Legislation

July 22, 2010

CFA annually adopts a legislative agenda that reflects the priorities of the organization along with the prevailing political and economic climate of the state. Broadly stated, CFA's legislative agenda is developed to preserve and enhance the instructional mission of the CSU through supporting legislation that promotes faculty rights and the quality of education, and by opposing legislation that detracts from these objectives.
