Instructionally Related Activities (IRA)
In accordance with California State University, Office of the Chancellor, Executive Order 429, December 30, 1983, the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) Board was established and charged with the responsibility for soliciting and evaluating proposals for instructionally related activities.
