Community colleges: transfer course requirements: report.

Existing law, the Donohoe Higher Education Act, establishes the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in this state. These segments include the California State University, administered by the Trustees of the California State University, the University of California, administered by the Regents of the University of California, and the California Community Colleges, administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. A provision of the act applies to the University of California only to the extent that the regents, by resolution, make that provision applicable. Existing law requires the governing bodies of the 3 public postsecondary segments, with appropriate consultation with the academic senates of the respective segments, to develop, maintain, and disseminate a common core curriculum in general education courses for the purposes of transfer. This bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to produce a report evaluating course alignment in the California Community Colleges and the differing course requirements for transfer to the California State University and the University of California. The bill would require the report to be submitted to the Legislature by July 1, 2011.
