Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges as one segment of public postsecondary education in the state. Under existing law, the board of governors appoints a chief executive officer, who is known as the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges. This bill would authorize the chancellor to implement a data request fee policy for researchers applying for access to individually identifiable data, student data, or both. If a data request fee policy is implemented, the bill would require the policy to be reviewed and approved by the board of governors, revised periodically, made publicly available and posted in a prominent location on the chancellor's internet website, and comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, as provided. The bill would prohibit fees or charges from being imposed on a state entity, except as provided, on an undergraduate or graduate student seeking data for the student's individual studies, or on a community college faculty member seeking data for the faculty member's individual research.
