	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1022, 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
23 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 the graduates of their
undergraduate programs and authorize the California State University
and the University of California to publicly provide labor market
outcome information relating to the graduates of their graduate
programs. The labor market outcome information to be provided
pursuant to 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 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 also express the intent of the Legislature that the
California State University publicly provide prematriculation labor
market data for graduates at the point in time 6 years before they
received their degrees.
   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.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the impact
of public postsecondary education on the employment and earnings of
students be made publicly available, to the extent possible, to
students and families consistently across the segments of public
postsecondary education.
   (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that, in addition to the
requirements specified in Section 66014.3 of the Education Code, the
California State University publicly provide prematriculation labor
market data for graduates at the point in time six years before they
received their degrees.
  SEC. 2.  Section 66014.3 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   66014.3.  (a) The California State University shall, and the
University of California is requested to, publicly provide labor
market outcome information relating to the graduates of their
undergraduate programs. The California State University and the

information relating to the graduates of their graduate programs.
This information shall include, but not necessarily be limited to,
salary data, and the percentage distribution of graduates, classified
by industry.
   (b) The information required by this section shall be provided
using data including, but not necessarily limited to, information
