9. Trustee workgroup on Student Success Fees The Trustee workgroup on student success fees is seeking input from the faculty, staff and students across the California State University (CSU) system. In particular, we are soliciting feedback on student success fees from the California State University Systemwide Academic Senate, the California State Student Association, the 23 campus senates, and the 23 student government organizations. Our working timeline is short, as we are charged with a report to the Board of Trustees in November and January, and to the legislature on or before February 1, 2015. Consequently, written feedback from your organization on category II student success fees is to be submitted by October 13, 2014, to ssfworkgroup@calstate.edu.
