A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 9 of Article IX thereof, relating to the University of California.

Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide that the University of California constitutes a public trust, and require that the university be administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes. These provisions require that corporation to have all the powers necessary or convenient for the effective administration of its trust. This measure would require the regents to act in the best interests of the people of California and to honor their fiduciary duty to California residents who aspire to attend the University of California by ensuring that priority in admissions is given to applicants who are California residents.
