   An act to add Section 66014.3 to the Education Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1022, as introduced, Huff. Public postsecondary education:
labor market outcome information.
   Existing law establishes the California State University and the
University of California as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary
education in this state. Instruction is provided to students at the
25 institutions constituting the California State University and the
10 institutions constituting the University of California.
   This bill would require the California State University, and
request the University of California, to publicly provide labor
market outcome information relating to their graduates. The
information required by the bill would include, but not necessarily
be limited to, salary data and the distribution of employers,
classified by industry. The bill would specify requirements for
presentation of this data, including the use of easily understood
labor market measures, aggregation of the data to the systemwide
level and disaggregation to the campus level and by particular areas
of study, time frames after graduation for the presentation of the
data in each labor market outcome category, and adherence to
pertinent state and federal privacy laws.
   The bill would require that this information be made publicly
available through publication on the Internet Web sites of the
respective segments no later than June 1, 2016, and updated no later
than June 1 of each year thereafter.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
