SB 32, as introduced, Price. Public postsecondary education: student costs.
Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, provides for a public postsecondary education system in this state. This system consists of the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges. Existing law authorizes these institutions to require that mandatory systemwide fees, among other fees, be paid by students at these institutions. The provisions of the act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the Regents of the University of California act by resolution to make them applicable.
This bill would require the Trustees of the California State University, and would request the Regents of the University of California, to explore innovative ways of offering a bachelor’s degree to an individual student at a cost, as specified, in an amount of no more than $10,000.
