University of California: requests from the California State Auditor's Office: prohibition on coordination.

Abstract

(1) 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. 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 bill, whenever a request for information relating to the security of funds of the University of California is made by the California State Auditor's Office pursuant to these provisions to one or more campuses of the University of California, would prohibit those campuses from coordinating their responses with, or seeking counsel, advice, or similar contact regarding their response from, the Office of the President of the University of California before submitting the requested information to the California State Auditor's Office. The bill would require the California State Auditor's Office, when requesting information under these provisions, to include a statement in the request that it is requesting the information pursuant to these provisions and that the request for information is not to be shared with the Office of the President of the University of California. (2) Existing law requires the University of California to report biennially to the Legislature and the Department of Finance on its total costs of education, as specified. Under existing law, these reports are required to be submitted on or before October 1 of each even-numbered year, commencing in 2014 and continuing until the requirement for submission of these biennial reports becomes inoperative on January 1, 2021. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to ensure that the Legislature has accurate information upon which to base funding decisions relating to the University of California. The bill would require that the amounts included in the reports be based on publicly available information. The bill would require that the costs reported be prior year actual expenditures. The bill would change the date on which the requirement for submission of these biennial reports becomes inoperative to January 1, 2023.
