The CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Service Corporation was incorporated in 1959 as a nonprofit
public corporation for the purpose of promoting and assisting the educational mission
of Cal State Fullerton. In fulfilling its mission, the ASC employs over 500
people as it performs a variety of services throughout the campus community. Specifically,
it oversees commercial operations; administers research and educational grants and
contracts for the University; is responsible for the fiscal administration for numerous
University programs; acquired College Park to provide additional offices and classrooms
for the university; and administers the CSUF Housing Authority -- the developer
of 86 “for sale” homes for faculty and staff currently in nearby Buena Park, and
a new housing project, University Heights, coming late 2006.
ASC is governed by a 25-member Board of Directors consisting of students, faculty,
administrators and prominent leaders from the surrounding community. The ASC’s Executive
Director, representing the administrative staff, serves as the Chief Executive Officer
for the ASC and reports to the Executive Committee of the Board.
As is evident, the Cal State Fullerton ASC is a multi-dimensional organization created
by the University to provide a multitude of various services that can be administered
efficiently and effectively under the auspices of a single organization. Suffice
it to say, the ASC returns a significant portion of its revenues generated through
these programs (in excess of $1.3 million each of the last several years) to aid
the University in achieving its educational mission.
