CSSA: What is it?

California State Student Association

Each campus sends a voting representative, and the Associated Students President

For our campus, that is Ian and myself

Board of Directors, Special Officers, Executives

Each month, we travel to one of the 23 CSU campuses, meeting to pass legislation and advocate for students

Recent successes

AB 2813- bill that raises the Cal Grant age eligibility from 24 to 27 years of age

AB 970- bill establishes the 18-month moratorium on Student Success Fees

AB 844- bill makes it clear that all students, including AB 540 students, may serve in student government

Promoted the Affordable Learning Solutions campaign to help connect students to low cost and free course materials

SIRF

Student Involvement and Representation Fund

$4 voluntary fee that students will be asked to pay

Right now, CSSA is funded by dues from AS, and the Chancellor's office equaling about $600k

We need a sustainable funding source, that is also independent

Even if 60% of students opt out, we will still gather enough revenue

Common misconceptions

CSSA is one big party

Since I am not involved in politics, this is not a relevant thing for me to attend

CSSA does not really matter
