Summary

Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, provides for a public postsecondary education system in this state. This system consists of the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges. Among other things, the Donahoe Higher Education Act sets forth legislative intent with respect to enrollment planning and admission priority practice at the undergraduate resident student level for the California State University and the University of California. This bill would state this legislative intent for the California State University with respect to enrollment planning and admission, rather than admission priority practice. The bill would require the California State University, within existing enrollment categories, to provide applicants residing in the local service area, as defined, admission to the applicant's local California State University campus over other California residents or out-of-state applicants entering as first-time freshmen or sophomores, provided they meet relevant admissions criteria.
