Summary

Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, provides for a public postsecondary education system in this state. The University of California and the California State University are 2 of the segments of the public postsecondary education system. The provisions of the Donahoe Higher Education Act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the Regents of the University of California act by resolution to make them applicable. Existing law authorizes the trustees of the California State University to require that fees, among other charges, be paid by students that institution. Existing provisions of the California Constitution require the regents to have all powers necessary or convenient for the effective administration of the university. This bill would enact the Student Protection Act, which would require any increase in mandatory systemwide fees adopted by the trustees to become effective at least 180 calendar days after the date on which the increase is adopted. The bill would prohibit the trustees from increasing mandatory systemwide fees, in any academic year, by an amount exceeding 10% of the mandatory systemwide fees for the immediately preceding academic year. The bill would request the regents to adopt policies that are consistent with these provisions.
