The University of California Student Association (UCSA) is an active[4] 501(c)(3)[1][5] unincorporated association,[6] purposed as a student association of all University of California (UC) students.[7] Its charter states that it "shall exist to: serve the interests of the current and future students of the University of California and promotes [sic] cooperation between various student governments of the University and student organizations concerned with higher education."[7] The Association is not a public agency, but its leadership is composed of representatives of UC student governments, which are "official units of the University" system (with one exception).[8] UCSA participates in various aspects of the UC system's governance, notably including the selection of the student representative on the UC Board of Regents.[9][10]
UCSA representatives have opposed education funding cuts[11][12] and increases in student fees[13][14][15] and supported affirmative action in enrollment policies.[16] The association mobilizes students via voter registration campaigns; it recorded 26,000 new voter registrations in 2006, and added 12,300 new registrations in 2008 for the California Democratic and Republican primaries.[17] In April 2016, UCSA called for the removal of then-chancellor of UC Davis, Linda Katehi.[18][19][20][21][22][23] In January and October 2017, UCSA called for the removal of Norman Pattiz, a UC Regent, due to sexual harassment allegations that Pattiz has admitted to.[24][25]
