Fall 2015
Committee:
Legislative Affairs Committee
Whereas, the California Student Aid Commission is composed of the 15 members from various special interest groups including the postsecondary educational systems, appointments by the Governor, and the State Legislature.
Whereas, California Education Code, section 69510, subsection D states, “Two members each of whom shall be a student enrolled in a California postsecondary educational institution at the time of appointment, and shall be enrolled in a California postsecondary educational institution for the duration of the term. A student member who graduates from an institution with no more than six months of his or her term remaining shall be permitted to serve for the remainder of the term.”
Whereas, this creates a hindrance in the representation of the California Community College system by only providing two available spots between the current postsecondary educational systems in the state of California, that pits us against one another for those appointments.
Resolved, that the Student Senate for California Community Colleges advocate to amend California Education Code, Section 69519 through 69519, to allow proper student representation for all postsecondary educational systems, including, but not limited to, increasing the number of student appointments to the California Student Aid Commission.
