Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California. The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust 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. This bill would request the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, to conduct a biennial study on the racial, ethnic, gender, and LGBT diversity of the board of directors and employees of high technology companies in the United States, and would request that the study include, among other things, the number of people employed by high technology companies of each race, ethnicity, and gender, and who self-identify as LGBT. The bill would request the University of California to post a report of the study on its Internet Web site and to submit a report of the study to the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2021, and every two years thereafter, until January 1, 2031. This bill would also request the center to create an advisory board of stakeholders, as specified, to meet every 2 months until the initial study is completed in 2021, and every 6 months thereafter until 2031, to assist with the development of best practices to be included in the report and shared with high technology companies and advocates.
Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Under existing law, the University of California provides instruction at 10 campuses, which are located in Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. The regents have established the Office of the Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) and have assigned to that office the task of responsibly investing various funds of the university, including, but not limited to, endowment and pension funds. This bill would urge the regents to require the OCIO to use reasonable efforts to encourage diversity, to request partner firms to use reasonable efforts to encourage diversity, and to launch an emerging manager program. The bill would also require the OCIO to submit, on or before January 1, 2020, a report to the chairs of the appropriate policy committees of each house of the Legislature that includes specified information relating to any requirements the regents direct the OCIO to perform pursuant to the bill.
