BILL NUMBER:  SB 721
  VETOED	DATE: 09/13/2012




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 721 without my signature.
This bill sets three goals for our colleges and postsecondary
institutions and orders the Legislative Analyst to create a committee
to establish metrics that measure progress towards these goals. The
bill also requires annual reports.

Questions about who should measure, what to measure and how to
measure what is learned in college are way too important to be
delegated to the Legislative Analyst.

Sincerely,


Edmund G. Brown Jr.
