Auxiliary Organizations On Campus

The Daily 49er published an article titled, Transparency bill redefines 'auxiliary' which discusses first what auxiliary organizations are.
"Among the auxiliaries at Cal State Long Beach are the CSULB Foundation, Associated Students Inc. and 49er Shops," the Daily 49er reported.
Before reading this article I did not know that the shops on campus were an auxiliary and just the term auxiliary itself left me confused. So I looked it up.
According to Webster's Dictionary, auxiliary is defined as giving or furnishing aid.
Going back to the article this definition fits. For example, "Sen. Yee’s Website lists the CSU auxiliaries funding at $1.34 billion, which accounts for about 20 percent of the CSU’s $6.7 billion budget."
Senator Lee of San Francisco proposed a transparency bill (SB 218) that would redefine auxiliary organizations as state agencies instead of "private entities."
Dave Edwards, president of CSU Auxiliary Organizations Association (AOA), however was one among others that disagreed with Lee's bill because he believed it was important to keep auxiliaries' "private status."
No resolutions have been made, but with the economy the way it is, no economic issues are left alone.
