Summary

Existing law establishes the California State University, which is administered by the Trustees of the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, which is administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. The California Community Colleges segment comprises 73 community college districts and a total of 116 campuses throughout the state. The California State University segment includes 23 institutions of higher education located throughout the state. This bill would require the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Chancellor of the California State University to ensure that at least one course identification (C-ID) descriptor number in certain ethnic studies areas is issued, as provided. The bill would require each California State University campus to accept any community college course articulated or approved, as specified, as meeting the campus' lower division ethnic studies course graduation requirement. The bill would prohibit a California State University campus from revoking the approval of any community college course previously accepted as meeting the campus' lower division ethnic studies course graduation requirement, except as provided. To the extent the bill would impose new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
