(a) (1) Each auxiliary organization formed pursuant to this article shall have a board of directors composed, both as to size and categories of membership, in accordance with regulations established by the Trustees of the California State University.

(2) If, in any fiscal year, a majority of the funding of the auxiliary organization is received from student fees collected on a campus or systemwide, at least a majority of the board of directors of that auxiliary organization shall consist of California State University students with full voting privileges on that board. This paragraph shall only be applicable to effectuate a change in the membership of a board of directors of an auxiliary organization if the trustees determine that there is no legal or contractual barrier to changing the governing structure of that organization. In the event that the trustees determine that there is a legal or contractual barrier to changing the governing structure of an auxiliary organization, information relating to that determination shall be reported, in a timely manner, to that auxiliary organization and any affected student body organization.

(b) Each governing board shall, during each fiscal year, hold at least one business meeting in accordance with Article 2 (commencing with Section 89920). The board shall have the benefit of the advice and counsel of at least one attorney admitted to practice law in this state and at least one licensed certified public accountant. Neither the attorney at law nor the certified public accountant need be members of the board.

(c) No auxiliary organization shall accept any grant, contract, bequest, trust, or gift, unless it is so conditioned that it may be used only for purposes consistent with policies of the trustees.
