Public postsecondary education: admission by exception.

Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, and the California State University, under the administration of the Board of Trustees of the California State University, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. The Donahoe Higher Education Act sets forth the missions and functions of the segments of postsecondary education in this state. Provisions of the act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the regents act, by appropriate resolution, to make those provisions applicable. Commencing with admissions for the 2020–21 academic year, this bill would prohibit a campus of the California State University and, if adopted by the regents by appropriate resolution, the University of California from admitting an applicant by admission by exception, as defined, unless the admission by exception has been approved, prior to the student's enrollment, by at least 3 senior campus administrators, the applicant is a California resident who is receiving an institution-based scholarship to attend the campus, or the applicant is accepted by an educational opportunity program for admission to the campus. Commencing with admissions for the 2020–21 academic year, the bill would establish requirements pertaining to admission by exception at a campus of the California State University and, if adopted by the regents by appropriate resolution, a campus of the University of California, as specified.
