Abstract	In one of the most diverse states in the nation, it is not surprising that public college students in California are incredibly diverse--71% of the student body is racially/ethnically diverse, with nearly half (45%) of students identifying as Latinx and only about one in four (23%) identifying as white. Unfortunately, that diverse representation by race/ethnicity and gender is not reflected in the decision-making bodies of the University of California (UC) Board of Regents, the California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees, the California Community Colleges (CCC) Board of Governors (BOG), and the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). The leaders who sit on the governing bodies of higher education systems also make critical decisions on the allocation of resources, hiring of key leadership and faculty, development of policies on admissions, academics, athletics, and more. They can help expand college opportunity or constrain it, they can ensure adequate supports for students, and they can strengthen the quality of instruction or erode it. The decisions made by these governing boards impact all aspects of students' lives. This brief provides an updated analysis of the representation on California's higher education governing boards as of September 22, 2022. The analysis reveals some highlights and lowlights when it comes to representation.
