	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2168, as introduced, Campos. Public postsecondary education:
California College Campus Discrimination and Violence Prevention Task
Force.
   Existing law establishes the segments of the postsecondary
education system in the state, including the University of California
administered by the Regents of the University of California, the
California State University administered by the Trustees of the
California State University, the California Community Colleges
administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community
Colleges, and the independent institutions of higher education in
this state.
   This bill would establish the California College Campus
Discrimination and Violence Prevention Task Force consisting of 13
members appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the Senate
Committee on Rules, and the Speaker of the Assembly, as specified.
The task force would also consist of a representative of the
Chancellor of the California State University appointed by the
trustees, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges
appointed by the board of governors, the organization that represents
the largest number, as of January 1, 2015, of independent
institutions of higher education, as defined, to be appointed by the
organization, and requests a representative of the Office of the
President of the University of California to be appointed by the
regents. The bill would require the task force to examine and make
recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature, on or before
January 1, 2016, on steps that can be taken to reduce incidents of
discrimination, hate crime, and campus violence on the campuses of
the University of California, the California State University, the
