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.
