New Campus to Be Called Cal State Channel Islands
With little talk and even less ceremony, a committee of California State University trustees Tuesday approved a name for the system’s yet-to-be-built campus in Ventura County.
The name California State University Channel Islands was selected after Cal State Chancellor Barry Munitz two weeks ago recommended the name for what will one day be the system’s 23rd campus and the first public four-year university in the county.
University boosters selected the name to emphasize one of the county’s regional draws, the Channel Islands off the coast of Ventura. The $700-million university will be built on a 260-acre parcel just west of Camarillo.
