Postsecondary education: academic and administrative employees: disclosure of sexual harassment.

Abstract

(1) Under existing law, the segments of postsecondary education in this state include the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges. Existing law authorizes the governing board of each community college district and the Trustees of the California State University to employ persons in academic and administrative positions in order to carry out the functions of their respective institutions. The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes. This bill would require the Regents of the University of California, the Trustees of the California State University, and the community college district governing boards to require as part of the hiring process for an appointment to an academic or administrative position that the applicant disclose any final administrative decision, as defined, or final judicial decision, as defined, determining that the applicant committed sexual harassment. The bill would prohibit the University of California, the California State University, or a community college district from asking an applicant to disclose, orally or in writing, information concerning any final administrative decision or final judicial decision described above, including any inquiry about an applicable decision on any employment application, until it has determined that the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications stated in the notice issued for the position. To the extent that these provisions would impose new requirements on community college district governing boards, this bill would constitute a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
