Article 15 - Alumni Associations
Section 42397 - Purpose

Campus alumni organizations aid the California State University in achieving its goals by providing leadership in fostering participation and support of campus priorities and representing alumni interests. As a public trust and the beneficiary of the support provided by alumni associations, the trustees are obligated to require that the funds raised by alumni associations be properly controlled and expended. Consequently, it is the intent of the trustees (1) to develop policies and procedures governing the recognition and management of alumni organizations, including the use of funds and institutional resources and, (2) to ensure cooperative and collaborative efforts between the alumni organizations and the campuses. To accomplish this, the campus president has the responsibility of granting and periodically reviewing recognition of a campus alumni association. These provisions govern the relationship between the alumni association and the campus it supports.
