Travis v. Board of Trustees of California State University

Opinion

RUBIN, J.

John Travis appeals from the judgment entered after the trial court denied his mandate petition, which sought a determination that the Board of Trustees of the California State University violated the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Gov. Code, § 11120 et seq.) when they met in closed session to discuss former Chancellor Barry Munitz’s decision to return from a years-long leave of absence and assume a teaching post. Because the topic of that closed session fell within the act’s exception for discussions about personnel matters, we affirm the judgment.
