University of California: ethnic studies.
Summary
The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust, and requires the university to 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 grant the regents all the powers necessary or convenient for the effective administration of its trust. This bill would request the University of California to establish an ethnic studies undergraduate graduation requirement at the university.
