LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 760, as amended, Alquist. Donahoe Higher Education
Act. Postsecondary education: the Cal Grant Program.
Existing law, the Ortiz-Pacheco-Poochigian-Vasconcellos Cal Grant
Program (Cal Grant Program), establishes the Cal Grant A and B
Entitlement Awards, the California Community College Transfer
Entitlement Awards, the Competitive Cal Grant A and B Awards, the Cal
Grant C Awards, and the Cal Grant T Awards under the administration
of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility
requirements for awards under these programs for participating
students attending qualifying institutions.
This bill would require that private for-profit postsecondary
institutions participating in the Cal Grant Program must receive 10%
or more of total revenues for each fiscal year from sources other
than specified federal and state funds.
Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, sets
forth, among other things, the missions and functions of California's
public and independent segments of higher education, and their
respective institutions of higher education. Provisions of the act
apply to the University of California only to the extent that the
Regents of the University of California, by appropriate resolution,
act to make a provision applicable. Among other things, the act
identifies common educational missions shared by educational
institutions in California, and differentiates more specific missions
and functions among the various educational segments.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this
provision.
