Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that the University of California and the California State University establish nonresident student tuition policies that are consistent with their resident student fee policies. Existing law provides that nonresident student tuition shall be determined by each of these public postsecondary segments through the adoption of a methodology that annually establishes the nonresident student tuition rate. These provisions are applicable to the University of California only if the Regents of the University of California act, by resolution, to make them applicable. This bill would require that, on or before the 2018–19 academic year, and each academic year thereafter, not less than 50% of the revenues in excess of the marginal cost of instruction generated from undergraduate nonresident enrollment be directed to fund increased enrollment for undergraduate resident students at all campuses of the university with undergraduate students. The bill would prohibit the total number of undergraduate nonresident students enrolled at all of the campuses of the University of California from exceeding the total number of undergraduate nonresident students enrolled in the 2015–16 academic year. The bill would require the University of California to annually publish a report including specified data about the revenues generated by undergraduate nonresident student enrollment.
