The California State University System was formally established in 1960 by the Donahoe Higher Education Act. It is the nation's
largest university system, with 23 campuses. The CSU is one of three public higher education systems in the state of California
(the others are the University of California and the California Community College System). The System is the direct descendant
of the California State Normal School (now, San Jose State University) established by the California Legislature on May 2,
1862. By 1895 there were four State Normal schools. In 1921, the schools were re-named the State Teacher's Schools. In 1935
the colleges were re-named the California State Colleges and were run by the State Department of Education. With the creation
of the California Master Plan for Higher Education along with the Donahoe Act, the California State Colleges were placed under
control of the CSC Board of Trustees. In 1972 the system was renamed the California State Colleges and Universities. The term
"Colleges" was dropped in 1982.
Responsibility for the California State University is vested in the Board of Trustees, whose members are appointed by the
Governor of the State of California. The Trustees appoint the Chancellor, who is the chief executive officer of the system,
and the Presidents, who are the chief executive officers of their respective campuses. The Academic Senate of the California
State University, made up of elected representatives of the faculty from each campus, recommends academic policy to the Board
of Trustees through the Chancellor. Chancellors of the system include Buell Gallagher (1961-1962); Glenn S. Dumke (1962-1982);
W. Ann Reynolds (1982-1990); Ellis E. McCune [Acting] (1990-1991); Barry Munitz (1991-1998); Charles B. Reed (1998-2012);
Timothy P. White (2012-2021); and Joseph I. Castro (2021- ).
The Chief Administrators and Business Officers (CABO) is a group composed of the 23-campus Vice Presidents / CFOs from across
the California State University. The group meets bi-monthly to review current issues, both system-wide and on campuses, and
provide advice to the system Chief Financial Officer and senior Human Resources officer.
The range of subject matters considered by the group includes the state support budget, capital design and construction, investment,
insurance, financial reporting, amongst others. There are several functional groups in the CSU that report through CABO including
the financial officers, auxiliary organizations, human resources and facilities.
Collection includes meeting minutes, agendas, and related items of the Chief Administrators and Business Officers group (1993-2001).
Topics covered in minutes include budget process, environmental health and safety issues, integrated technology strategy,
collaborative management systems, and audit planning.
