Summary

Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California. The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes. This bill would request the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, to conduct a biennial study on the racial, ethnic, gender, and LGBT diversity of the board of directors and employees of high technology companies in the United States, and would request that the study include, among other things, the number of people employed by high technology companies of each race, ethnicity, and gender, and who self-identify as LGBT. The bill would request the University of California to post a report of the study on its Internet Web site and to submit a report of the study to the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2021, and every two years thereafter, until January 1, 2031. This bill would also request the center to create an advisory board of stakeholders, as specified, to meet every 2 months until the initial study is completed in 2021, and every 6 months thereafter until 2031, to assist with the development of best practices to be included in the report and shared with high technology companies and advocates.
