UC system has Regents... The Trustees for the university...

CSU has trustees...

The UC Regents are appointed by the governor...

The CSU has more direct funding by the state from state taxes, therefore the Cal State assembly has a say in who the trustees are for any particular school...

As for SDSU, it is a class 3 or 4 university--thereby allowed to give doctoral degrees as long as it is a joint program with another dissertation program university... So someone can get a Ph.D. in education from SDSU and Claremont Graduate School... Or and Ed.D. from State and University of San Diego... Or a Ph.D. in molecular biology from State and UCSD...

Since UC get alot of funding that is endowment rather than state taxpayer funds, then the Chancellor's main charge is to fundraise... For the past decade, UC school have suffered in their research efforts because of the inability to raise funds federally and inability to tap into resources through the state. They some how balanced it back with joint ventures with capital campaigns with corporations involved in research...

Whereas, CSU makes some of its off of taxpayers, it also makes funds under allied programs... Like I believe SDSU now has a business class on gaming and entertainment...

Either way, advanced degree education is what you make of it... You can get the best of education after your bachelor's degree no matter how hard you work on it... UC or CSU whatever...
