Public postsecondary education: alumni associations.

(1) Existing law establishes the California State University, administered by the Trustees of the California State University, and the University of California, administered by the Regents of the University of California, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law prescribes criteria for the disclosure of the names and addresses of alumni of the California State University and the University of California. Existing law requires that the names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of alumni be disclosed only to provide those persons with informational materials relating to the California State University or the University of California, and their respective programs and activities; to provide those persons, or the trustees, auxiliary organizations of the California State University, as defined, or the Regents of the University of California, or the alumni associations with beneficial commercial opportunities; or to promote and support the educational mission of the California State University, the University of California, the trustees, the regents, or the alumni associations. Existing law authorizes this disclosure only if the trustees, auxiliary organizations, or the alumni associations, in the case of the California State University, or the regents or the alumni associations, in the case of the University of California, have a written agreement with a business, as defined, that maintains control over this data. Under existing law, this agreement is required to obligate the business to maintain the confidentiality of the names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of the alumni, to require the university or the college to retain the right to approve or reject any purpose for which the private information is to be used by the business and to review and approve the text of mailings sent to alumni, and the business from using the information for any purposes other than those described. However, existing law prohibits the disclosure of alumni names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of alumni who have directed the trustees, the regents, the board of directors, or an alumni association or auxiliary organization, not to disclose their names, addresses, or electronic mail addresses. Existing law requires the California State University and the University of California to make available to their respective alumni a specified form or an alternative notice, in a mailing or in an Internet posting, as prescribed, before alumni names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses may be disclosed that provides alumni the opportunity to opt out of certain disclosures of that identifying information. Existing law requires the form to be a separate document, except as specified. Under existing law, the above provisions are applicable to the University of California only to the extent that the regents or the board of directors act, by resolution, to make them applicable. This bill would instead provide that this form may be incorporated into another communication piece intended for the target audience, or through a link to the form located on the Internet Web site of the trustees, the regents, the affected alumni association, or the affected auxiliary organization, as specified. (2) Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that, by July 1, 2014, the California State University and the University of California submit reports to the Legislature regarding compliance with the provisions described in (1) . This bill would repeal these provisions. (3) Existing law specifies that the provisions described in (1) are repealed as of January 1, 2016. This bill would delete those repeal dates, and thereby extend the operation of these provisions indefinitely.
