Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing provisions of the California Constitution establish the University of California as a public trust under the administration of the Regents of the University of California. The University of California system includes 10 campuses, which are respectively located in Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. This measure would require that, for the 2017–18 academic year, and each academic year thereafter, out-of-state undergraduate students, as defined, constitute not more than 10% of an incoming undergraduate class, and not more than 10% of the total undergraduate enrollment, at each campus in the University of California system. The bill would prohibit the University of California from providing state-funded financial assistance to an undergraduate student who, in the absence of financial assistance, is statutorily required to pay tuition or any mandatory fee at a rate higher than a California resident. This measure would also prohibit the total amount of tuition and mandatory systemwide fees charged to undergraduate students of the University of California from being increased from the 2016–17 academic year to the 2020–21 academic year, inclusive.
