	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1711, as amended, McCarty. University of California:
nonresident student enrollment.
   Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that the
University of California establish nonresident student tuition
policies that are consistent with their resident student fee
policies. The provisions are applicable to the University of
California only if the Regents of the University of California act,
by resolution, to make them applicable.
   This bill would require the University of California,  in
collaboration with the Academic Senate of the University of
California,  as a condition of receipt of funds appropriated in
the annual Budget Act, to  establish a policy to require each
campus to admit only nonresident undergraduate students who exceed
the academic qualifications of resident undergraduate students, as
specified,  ensure that implementation of any admissions
policy regarding admission of nonresident undergraduate students
includes guidance that ensures the academic qualifications for
admitted nonresident undergraduate students generally exceeds the
academic qualifications of resident undergraduate students,  and
would require the University of California to report specified
information to the Legislature annually regarding  actions
taken to ensure compliance with   implementation of
 the policy. 
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote:  majority   2/3  . Appropriation:
no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
