BILL NUMBER: AB 340 VETOED DATE: 10/11/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 340 without my signature. The bill would require the California State University Trustees and the California Community Colleges Board of Governors to submit a report on campus climate every two years, and would request the University of California to do the same. While I understand the desire to create a more vibrant, intellectually serious and inclusive campus environment at UC, CSU and the community colleges, each of their governing boards has already taken steps aimed at achieving these important goals. I believe the leaders of these institutions are committed to providing updates on current and future developments. Codifying a biennial report, as provided in this bill, is not necessary. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
