	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1721, Hayden.  California State University.
   Existing law establishes the California State University, and
authorizes the operation of its various campuses under the
administration of the Trustees of the California State University.
   This bill would authorize the Trustees of the California State
University to establish an African American Political Institute and
an Institute for Central American Studies at California State
University, Northridge, and a Center for Portuguese Studies at
California State University, Stanislaus, with nonpublic funds or with
other funds that the California State University, Northridge, and
the California State University, Stanislaus are authorized to expend
for, and make available for, these purposes, respectively.  The
provisions enacted by the bill would be repealed as of January 1,
2010.


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


  SECTION 1.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:
   (1) The Central American population of southern California is
projected to be 2,500,000 by the year 2010, making the Central
Americans the second largest Latino group in California.
   (2) California State University, Northridge (CSUN), enrolls one of
the largest concentrations of Central Americans of any university in
the United States, and CSUN has already established an academic
minor in Central American studies.
   (3) The nations of Central America have rich and unique histories
and cultures that are now increasingly interwoven with the history
and culture of California.
   (4) There is a need for research, education, and university
services focused on the Central American community in California, the
history and nature of the migration of members of that community,
and the relationship between the economies and cultures of Central
America and California.
   (b) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature to accomplish
both of the following:
   (1) To request the Trustees of the California State University to
establish the first research institute for Central American studies
in the United States.
   (2) To authorize the establishment of the Institute for Central
American Studies at California State University, Northridge.
