LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2047, as introduced, Mike Fong. Postsecondary education: discrimination prevention: systemwide offices.

Existing federal law, known as Title IX, prohibits a person, on the basis of sex, from being excluded from participation in, being denied the benefits of, or being subject to discrimination, which includes sexual harassment, under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

Existing law prohibits a person from being subjected to discrimination on the basis of specified attributes, including, among others, disability or gender, in a program or activity conducted by a postsecondary educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls students who receive state student financial aid.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation that would create systemwide Title IX and nondiscrimination offices at postsecondary educational institutions in the state and would require those offices to enact policies to prevent discrimination on their respective campuses.
