Existing law establishes the California State University and the University of California as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state.

The bill would require that this information be made publicly available through publication on the Internet Web sites of the respective segments no later than June 1, 2016, and updated no later than June 1 of each year thereafter.
