Campus Fee Advisory Committee (CFAC)

The Role of CFAC

The Campus Fee Advisory Committee [CFAC] is a working committee, serving in an advisory role, that reviews campus fee proposals and makes recommendations to the campus President.  All decisions made by CFAC concerning fee proposals are governed by Executive Order 1102.  At San José State University, review of proposals for activities supported by Student Success, Excellence & Technology Fees [SSETF] and their recommendations are included in CFAC’s purview.

The Committee’s membership is governed by the California State University Student Fee Policy - Executive Order 1102, section IV - Responsibility:

  1. The president is responsible for assuring that appropriate and meaningful consultation occurs prior to adjusting any campus-based fee and before requesting that the chancellor establish a new Category II or Category III fee.
    1. The president shall establish a Campus Fee Advisory Committee comprised of student, faculty, staff, and administrative representatives to provide advice to the president. Membership of the Campus Fee Advisory Committee shall be established in consultation with the campus student body association and the campus faculty senate and shall include the president of the campus student body association and the chair of the campus faculty senate or their designees. The president shall appoint the chair of the Campus Fee Advisory Committee.
    2. The president shall appoint members to the Campus Fee Advisory Committee, excluding the student representatives who shall be appointed by the campus student body association. Faculty members shall be appointed consistent with normal campus processes for selecting faculty members to serve on similar committees.
    3. Students appointed by the campus student body association shall constitute a majority of the voting members of the Campus Fee Advisory Committee.
