SB 236 California Senate · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Public postsecondary education: University of California: California State University: student financial assistance: tuition and mandatory systemwide fees: admission of out-of-state students.

Summary
Existing law, the Donahoe Higher Education Act, among other things, sets forth the missions and functions of the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in this state: the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of University of California; the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University; and the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Provisions of the Donahoe Higher Education Act are applicable to the University of California only to the extent that the regents act, by resolution, to make them applicable. This bill would add a provision to the Donahoe Higher Education Act that would prohibit the California State University from providing, and, notwithstanding any other law, as a condition for the expenditure of funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act, prohibit the University of California from providing, state-funded financial assistance to an undergraduate student who, in the absence of financial assistance, is statutorily required to pay tuition or any mandatory fee at a rate higher than a California resident. The bill would add a provision to the Donahoe Higher Education Act that would require the California State University, and, notwithstanding any other law, as a condition for the expenditure of funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act, require the University of California, to refrain from increasing the total amount of tuition and mandatory systemwide fees charged to undergraduate students from the 2018–19 academic year to the 2022–23 academic year, inclusive. The bill would add a provision to the Donahoe Higher Education Act that, for the 2019–20 academic year, and for each academic year thereafter, would prohibit out-of-state undergraduate students of the California State University from constituting either more than 10% of the incoming undergraduate class or more than 10% of the total undergraduate enrollment at each campus in the California State University system. The bill, notwithstanding any other law, and as a condition for the expenditure of funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act, would also add a provision prohibiting out-of-state undergraduate students of the University of California from constituting more than 10% of the incoming undergraduate class or more than 10% of the total undergraduate enrollment at each campus in the University of California system. The bill would define "out-of-state undergraduate student" for these purposes.
