Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Education Code that spells out who counts as a California State University faculty employee and requires the instructor of record to meet the university’s existing rule for faculty. It also states that faculty may use artificial‑intelligence tools but the Legislature intends to shield employees from AI‑related job displacement. The measure applies to all CSU faculty positions, both credit and non‑credit, full‑time or part‑time.
