Research & Government Affairs
A fundamental goal of the Center is:
To enhance and inform public policy by linking the policy research needs of state policymakers with the policy research resources of the California State University thereby assisting public officials and policy makers in addressing the challenges of California.
Research and Government Affairs encompasses the Center’s public policy research activities, training and orientation programs, and miscellaneous activities undertaken at the request of state policy makers and officials.
The Center’s specific Research and Government Affairs goals include:
- Provide the Legislature, the Governor and Executive Branch, and the Courts with useful, relevant and academically rigorous policy research;
- Enhance the effectiveness of elected and other public officials through training and orientation programs;
- Leverage Center capacity to inform policy debates by creating and supporting affiliated policy oriented centers and institutes; and
- Expand and maintain connections with all campuses within the CSU and with individual CSU faculty engaged in policy research.
The Center’s activities in this area include:
- Faculty Research Fellows Project
- Institute for Higher Education Leadership & Policy
- Legislative Staff Management Institute
- New Supervisors Institute/California State Association of Counties
Additionally, the Center is frequently requested to provide support for one-time events. For example, the Center was involved with the sesquicentennial celebration of the state Legislature and helped to locate experts for an event sponsored by the state Attorney General.
