Public postsecondary education: campus law enforcement agency and student liaison.

Existing law prohibits the Regents of the University of California, the Trustees of the California State University, and the governing board of a community college district from making or enforcing a rule subjecting a student to disciplinary sanction solely on the basis of conduct that is speech or other communication that is protected by specified provisions of the United States Constitution and the California Constitution. This bill would require, for purposes of promoting peaceful campus demonstrations, the Trustees of the California State University to require each campus of the California State University to designate an individual to serve as a liaison between campus law enforcement agencies and students exercising rights guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or a similar provision of the California Constitution, or both. The bill would request that the Regents of the University of California designate an individual at each campus of the University of California to serve as a liaison between campus law enforcement agencies and students exercising rights guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or a similar provision of the California Constitution, or both.
