Cultural heritage destruction: California universities and museums.

Abstract

Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, provides for a public postsecondary education system in the state. Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the University of California under the administration of the Regents of the University of California as the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in the state. This bill would prohibit the California Community Colleges and the California State University from inviting, and would request the University of California to not invite, a sponsored professor, as defined, to its campus or facility if the professor is employed by a college or university that is funded by a country that has received an adverse judgment regarding the destruction of cultural heritage artifacts or sites by the International Court of Justice, as specified. Existing law, the California Cultural and Historical Endowment Act, establishes the California Cultural and Historical Endowment in the Natural Resources Agency. Among other things, the act authorizes the endowment to make grants and loans on a competitive basis to public agencies and nonprofit organizations, as defined, to encourage development of California's historical and cultural resources. The bill would prohibit a museum in California that receives public funding from displaying any country-funded item or artifact, or sending to a country or receiving from a country any item or artifact, if that country has received an adverse judgment by the International Court of Justice regarding its destruction of cultural heritage artifacts or sites, as specified. The bill would also authorize a museum in California that receives public funding to prohibit the display an item or artifact that is suspiciously country-funded if that country has received an adverse judgment by the International Court of Justice regarding the country's destruction of cultural heritage artifacts or sites, as specified.
