Postsecondary education: enrollment growth.

(1) Existing law provides for a public postsecondary education system in this state. This system includes the University of California, which is administered by the Regents of the University of California, and the California State University, which is administered by the Trustees of the California State University. This bill would request the regents, and require the trustees to submit information regarding the number of students who graduated for the most recent academic year, and the number of students who left school without graduating, as part of the annual enrollment growth reports required by the annual Budget Act. (2) Existing law requires the Governor's Budget to be submitted to the Legislature within the first 10 days of each regular session. Existing law requires the Governor's Budget to be prepared in compliance with guidelines and instructions adopted by the Department of Finance. This bill would require the department, before the submission of the Governor's Budget, to develop projections for enrollment at the University of California and the California State University that are based on the number of students expected to graduate from high school in the ensuing fiscal year.
