LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1196, as amended, Liu. Public postsecondary education: state
goals.
Existing law establishes the University of California, under the
administration of the Regents of the University of California, the
California State University, under the administration of the Trustees
of the California State University, and the California Community
Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges, as the 3 public segments of
postsecondary education in this state.
Under existing law, there are 5 segments of postsecondary
education in this state. These segments include the three public
segments: the University of California, the California State
University, and the California Community Colleges. Private
postsecondary educational institutions and independent institutions
of higher education constitute the other segments.
Existing law states the intent of the Legislature that budget and
policy decisions regarding postsecondary education generally adhere
to 3 specified goals and that appropriate metrics be identified,
defined, and formally adopted, based upon metrics recommended by a
working group, to monitor progress toward the achievement of the
goals.
This bill would require the Governor, or the Governor's designee,
in consultation with the 5 segments of postsecondary education,
private industry, policy research entities, and any other
entity the Governor deems appropriate, to identify and establish
specific postsecondary educational attainment goals for the segments
of postsecondary education in the state that satisfy specified
criteria and a target date for the segments to achieve these goals.
The bill would require the trustees, the board of governors, and, as
a condition to receiving a General Fund appropriation from the state,
the regents to each develop and adopt a 5-year
plan for making progress toward these statewide goals, and would
require the Governor, or the Governor's designee, to convene a
technical working group to aid in the development of the
5-year plan, as specified. The bill would require the
5-year plan to include, but not necessarily be
limited to, specific goals for satisfying the statewide attainment
goals and performance measures specified for each segment,
respectively. The bill would also require the California State
University, the California Community Colleges, and the University of
California to report to the Legislature on the 5-year
plans annually until January 1, 2021, as specified.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
