Article 4. Instructionally Related Activities of California Education Code >> Division 8. >> Title 3. >> Part 55. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 4.
"Instructionally related activities" means those activities
and laboratory experiences that are at least partially sponsored by
an academic discipline or department and that are, in the judgment of
the president of a particular campus, with the approval of the
trustees, integrally related to its formal instructional offerings.
Activities that are considered to be essential to a quality
educational program and an important instructional experience for any
student enrolled in the respective program may be considered
instructionally related activities.
Instructionally related activities include, but are not limited
to, all of the following:
(a) Intercollegiate athletics: costs that are necessary for a
basic competitive program including equipment and supplies and
scheduled travel, not provided by the state. Athletic grants should
not be included.
(b) Radio, television, film: costs related to the provisions of
basic "hands-on" experience not provided by the state. Purchase or
rental of films as instructional aids shall not be included.
(c) Music and dance performance: costs to provide experience in
individual and group performance, including recitals, before
audiences and in settings sufficiently varied to familiarize students
with the performance facet of the field.
(d) Theatre and musical productions: basic support of theatrical
and operatic activities sufficient to permit experience not only in
actual performance, but in production, direction, set design, and
other elements considered a part of professional training in these
fields.
(e) Art exhibits: support for student art shows given in
connection with degree programs.
(f) Publications: the costs to support and operate basic
publication programs including a periodic newspaper and other
laboratory experience basic to journalism and literary training.
Additional publications designed primarily to inform or entertain
shall not be included.
(g) Forensics: activities designed to provide experience in
debate, public speaking, and related programs, including travel
required for a competitive debate program.
(h) Other activities: activities associated with other
instructional areas that are consistent with purposes included in the
above may be added as they are identified.
Pursuant to this section and other provisions of this code, the
Chancellor of the California State University shall develop a program
of fiscal support and shall consult with the California State
Student Association, the Academic Senate, and the Chancellor's
Council of Presidents regarding the program.
This section shall not become operative unless funds are
appropriated to meet the instructionally related needs of the
campuses of the California State University.
