RECITALS

A. On July 9, 2007, Plaintiffs College Republicans at San Francisco State University, 

Leigh Wolf and Trent Downes filed this action against twenty-seven defendants, including each 

individual trustee of the Board of Trustees of the California State University System (“CSU”), the 

Governor of the State of California, the Lieutenant Governor of the State of California, the Speaker of 

the California State Assembly, the California State Superintendent of Public Education, the CSU 

Chancellor, the President of San Francisco State University (“SFSU”), as well as two individual 

employees of SFSU. 

B. The parties subsequently agreed to minimize the time and expense of litigation, based 

upon defendants’ representation through counsel that all relevant SFSU officials and CSU trustees will

be bound by any orders issued by this court. 

STIPULATION

 It is hereby stipulated by Plaintiffs and Defendants as follows: 

1. No later than August 31, 2007, Plaintiffs will file a first amended complaint against the 

following defendants only: Charles B. Reed, individually and in his official capacity as Chancellor of 

the California State University; Robert A. Corrigan, individually and in his official capacity as 

President of San Francisco State University; J. E. Saffold, individually and in her official capacity as 

Vice President for Student Affairs at San Francisco State University; and Joey Greenwell, 

individually and in his official capacity as Director of the Office of Student Programs and Leadership

Development at San Francisco State University. The filing of the first amended complaint will, by 

operation of law, serve to dismiss the remaining defendants without prejudice. 

2. California State University’s Office of General Counsel is authorized to and will accept 

service of process on behalf of these four defendants to be named in the first amended complaint. 

3. By September 12, 2007, the four defendants named in the first amended complaint will 

file and serve their responsive pleadings to the first amended complaint. 

4. Any orders for injunctive, declaratory, or monetary relief issued by this court against 

any of these four defendants shall be binding and applicable to the campus or campuses to which the 

order relates and, as applicable, to the Trustees of the California State University. Chancellor Reed

and President Corrigan will take all necessary and appropriate steps to implement any such orders of 

this court. Chancellor Reed and President Corrigan represent that they have the authority to 

implement any order issued by this court at CSU and SFSU. 

5. Should discovery reveal that the trustees were personally and directly involved in the 

facts that gave rise to Plaintiffs’ claims in this case, Plaintiffs may amend their complaint as necessary. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
