BACKGROUND
In 1985 a law authored by Senators Boatwright and Petris and
approved by the Legislature designated the Concord site in
Contra Costa County for a California State University campus.
The California Postsecondary Education Commission has now
requested an opinion from the Attorney General asking whether

considering alternatives. It is in the best interest of the
economic future and quality-of-life for Contra Costa County
that we retain the Concord campus site. We must immediately
communicate our position to the Attorney General and prepare
for any legal action we may be able to take.
