California State University: admissions: procedural requirements.

Existing law establishes the California State University as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. The university includes 25 specified campuses and is administered by a board, known as the Trustees of the California State University. Existing law requires the trustees to adopt rules and regulations for the government of the university and requires those rules and regulations to be published for distribution as soon as practicable after adoption. Existing law prescribes notice and hearing procedures for the adoption, amendment, and repeal of those regulations. This bill would require the trustees to ensure compliance with specified requirements for the adoption of changes in the criteria for admission to a campus of the university that affect the eligibility of applicants residing within the local service area, as defined, of the campus. The bill would require these procedures to include specified notice, hearing, and approval requirements. The bill would require a change in admissions criteria that affects the eligibility of applicants residing within the local service area of the affected campus to become effective only after a period of at least one year, or 6 months for a change based on resources, has elapsed after approval of that change by the Chancellor of the California State University. The bill would require the chancellor to report the decision regarding approval in writing to the trustees at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the trustees.
