                        FEBRUARY 14, 2014

   An act to add Section 66014.3 to the Education Code, relating to
public postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1022, as amended, 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 prematriculation and outcome information relating to their
graduates. The information required by the bill would include, but
not necessarily be limited to, salary data,  and the percentage
distribution of graduates,  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 by particular areas of study,
timeframes before and after graduation for the presentation of the
data in each labor market prematriculation and 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, and updated no later than June 1 of each year.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
