LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 60, Dymally. California State University: African American Political and Economic Institute. Existing law establishes the California State University and its various campuses under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University. Until January 1, 2010, existing law authorizes the trustees to establish an African American Political Institute at California State University, Northridge. Existing law requires the institute to reimburse the California State University for the full amount of any funds of the university, or the value of any resources supported by funds of the university, that are expended to establish the institute. This bill would change the name of the institute to the African American Political and Economic Institute. The bill would authorize the trustees to establish the institute at the Dominguez Hills campus instead of the Northridge campus. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature that the institute be funded by grants and contributions from private sources. The bill would prohibit funds, or resources supported by funds, available to the California State University for support of its educational mission, from being redirected to support the institute, including General Fund moneys, funds from the California State Lottery Education Fund, student fee revenues, and reimbursements and other income that otherwise would be available for support of the educational mission of the California State University. The bill would require that if any of these funds, or resources supported by these funds, are utilized for the initial startup costs of the institute, those funds are to be fully reimbursed by the institute from funding subsequently received by the institute through grants and contributions from private sources. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The heading of Chapter 4.2 (commencing with Section 89416) of Part 55 of the Education Code is amended to read: CHAPTER 4.2. THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INSTITUTE SEC. 2. Section 89416 of the Education Code is amended to read: 89416. (a) The trustees may establish an African American Political and Economic Institute at California State University, Dominguez Hills, with nonpublic funds or with other funds that the California State University, Dominguez Hills, is authorized to expend for, and makes available for, this purpose. (b) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that the institute be funded by grants and contributions from private sources. (2) No funds, or resources supported by funds, available to the California State University for support of its educational mission, shall be redirected to support the institute, including General Fund moneys, funds from the California State Lottery Education Fund, student fee revenues, and reimbursements and other income that otherwise would be available for support of the educational mission of the California State University. (3) If any funds, or resources supported by funds, specified in paragraph (2) are utilized for the initial startup costs of the institute, those funds shall be fully reimbursed by the institute from funding subsequently received by the institute through grants and contributions from private sources. (c) An advisory board to the institute may be established only if private funds have been donated to the institute in an amount deemed by the trustees to be sufficient to defray the costs of that board.
