AB 3374 — Postsecondary education.

Summary

(1) Commencing with admissions for the 2020–21 academic year, existing law prohibits a campus of the California State University and, if adopted by the Regents of the University of California by appropriate resolution, the University of California, from admitting an applicant by admission by exception, as defined, unless the admission by exception has been approved, prior to the student's enrollment, by at least 3 senior campus administrators, the applicant is a California resident who is receiving an institution-based scholarship to attend the campus, or the applicant is accepted by an educational opportunity program for admission to the campus. Commencing with admissions for the 2020–21 academic year, existing law establishes requirements pertaining to admission by exception at a campus of the California State University and, if adopted by the regents by appropriate resolution, a campus of the University of California, as specified. This bill instead would make these provisions operative commencing with admissions for the 2021–22 academic year. (2) Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law classifies any person who is employed to teach adult or community college classes for not more than 67% of the hours per week considered a full-time assignment for regular employees having comparable duties, excluding substitute service, as a temporary employee. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a community college district to employ a qualified individual as a temporary faculty member for a complete academic year, but not less than a complete semester or quarter during an academic year. Existing law requires that the employment of those persons be based upon the need for additional faculty during a particular semester or quarter, as specified. Existing law exempts persons serving as full-time or part-time clinical nursing faculty who meet specified requirements from certain limitations imposed under this provision. A single community college district may employ, for up to 4 semesters or 6 quarters, a person serving as full-time clinical nursing faculty or as part-time clinical nursing faculty teaching not more than 67% of the hours per week considered a full-time assignment for regular employees having comparable duties. This bill would specify that the full-time or part-time clinical nursing faculty referenced above may be employed by a single community college district for up to 4 semesters or 6 quarters within any period of 3 consecutive academic years. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes to this and related provisions. (3) Existing law requires the Legislative Analyst's Office to aggregate, analyze, and submit an interim report by January 1, 2019, and a final report by December 1, 2021, to the Legislature on the progress of a financial and professional development grant funding program in achieving its prescribed purpose, based on information submitted by community colleges participating in the grant program. This bill would delete the requirement that the Legislative Analyst's office submit a final report on the progress of the grant program pursuant to these provisions. (4) The California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 provides for the regulation of private postsecondary educational institutions by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in the Department of Consumer Affairs. The act also establishes the Student Tuition Recovery Fund and requires the bureau to adopt regulations governing the administration and maintenance of the fund, including requirements relating to assessments on students and student claims against the fund, and establishes that the moneys in this fund are continuously appropriated to the bureau for specified purposes. This bill would make a clarifying change to a definition used under these provisions concerning the Student Tuition Recovery Fund.
