Postsecondary education: campus climate.

Existing law establishes the segments of postsecondary education in this state, including the University of California administered by the Regents of the University of California, the California State University administered by the Trustees of the California State University, the California Community Colleges administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, and independent institutions of higher education. This bill would require the board, the trustees, and the governing body of each independent institution of higher education, as defined, and encourage each University of California campus, to each generate a report once every biennium of the legislative session, commencing with the 2017–18 Regular Session, that includes specified information related to the respective institution's campus climate, as defined, post the report on the respective institution's Internet Web site, and submit the report to specified state bodies. For the purposes of the board's report, the bill would require the board to request certain information from community college districts, and would provide that the board's report shall be based on data available from participating community college districts. The bill would require the board, the trustees, and the governing body of each independent institution of higher education, and would encourage the regents, to create, review every 2 years thereafter, and, as necessary, update protocols, policies, and procedures regarding compliance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013.
