According to the author, "Prior legislation provided that
all California postsecondary education institutions that
offer athletic scholarships are required to provide
information about athletic scholarships on their websites.
Postsecondary schools with a primary campus in another
state that have satellite campuses in California and/or
online classes offered in California are included within
the meaning of 'California postsecondary educational
institutions' under the prior legislation. Accordingly,
these off-campus facilities are required to comply with the
requirement to post information about athletic scholarships
online. Since these schools do not have athletic teams
operating in California, it is impracticable to require
them to provide athletic scholarship information on their
websites."
