A quick search revealed that the system's Trustees include the governor, lieutenant governor, the speaker of the California Assembly and assorted other politically and / or academically connected figures.
Given the international publicity that CSU-Chico has received recently, I'm guessing that Chico's president would very likely be making sure he was toeing the line that the Trustees and the CSU System's top administrators approved. Or do the CSU System and California political realities permit each CSU campus president a lot of latitude in dealing with well-publicized messes?

I would venture to say that at this point, it is probably still at the University level, but I would not be surprised if others have expressed their concern, even unofficially.
I am really hoping that the entire system does not get shut down. CSU Chico is the birthplace of the first Latina sorority AND the first Latino fraternity to be founded on the west coast. Although I am glad to see that my organization is mentioned in the speech as one that is doing positive things, I really hope the greeks as a whole on this campus can work towards a more positive image.
