California State University University Of California Graduation Requirements Service Learning Pilot Program

Abstract

The Donahoe Higher Education Act sets forth the missions and functions of California's public segments of higher education and their respective institutions of higher education. 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, are 2 of the segments. Provisions of the act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the Regents of the University of California act, by appropriate resolution, to make them applicable. This bill, which would be applicable to the University of California only if the Regents of the University of California adopt an appropriate resolution, commencing with the 2026–27 academic year, would require each California State University and University of California campus to provide on its internet website information on service learning programs and opportunities for undergraduate students. The bill, commencing with students graduating in the 2033–34 academic year, would require the California State University and the University of California, for at least 3 campuses each, as specified, to adopt a pilot program making the completion of a service learning program a graduation requirement. This bill would require, by February 1, 2036, the Legislative Analyst's Office to review and submit a report to the Assembly Committee on Higher Education, the Senate Committee on Education, and the respective education finance budget subcommittees of the Assembly and the Senate on the pilot program, as specified. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to make the report publicly available and require the California State University and the University of California to consider the report.
