Existing law, known as the Donahoe Higher Education Act, among other things, sets forth the missions and functions of Californias public and independent segments of postsecondary education. A provision of the act expresses the intent of the Legislature that each resident of California who has the capacity and motivation to benefit from higher education should have the opportunity to enroll in an institution of higher education. This provision also expresses a commitment to provide an appropriate place in California public higher education for every student who is willing and able to benefit from attendance.

Existing law establishes 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 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. The California State University comprises 23 institutions, and the University of California comprises 10 institutions.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this provision of the Donahoe Higher Education Act. prohibit nonresidents, as defined, from constituting more than 3% of the students enrolled at any campus of the California State University in any academic year.
