The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)On March 26, 1878, the Legislature approved an act (the Original Act) to create Hastings College of the Law, in the University of the State of California.
(b)The Original Act authorized Serranus Clinton Hastings (S.C. Hastings) to found and establish a law college known as Hastings College of the Law (the College).
(c)The object of the Original Act was for the state to grant a perpetual annuity for the support and maintenance of the College.
(d)The Original Act provided that S.C. Hastings would pay into the State Treasury the sum of $100,000, and that amount is never to be refunded, except as provided in the Original Act.
(e)S.C. Hastings completed the payment of $100,000 specified in the Original Act on May 24, 1878.
(f)The Original Act required the state to appropriate the sum of seven percent per annum upon $100,000 to be paid in two semiannual payments to the Board of Directors of the College.
(g)In each year since 1878, the state has appropriated and paid, in semiannual payments to the Board of Directors of the College, a sum equal to or greater than seven percent per annum upon $100,000.
(h)The College was established in 1878, and has continued to exist ever since without interruption.
(i)The Original Act stated that the College was to be designated as Hastings College of the Law.
(j)The Legislature previously amended the Original Act in 1907, in 1943, in 1959, in 1976, in 1980, and in 1992 (as amended, the Act), and the Act currently is codified in Article 1 (commencing with Section 92200) of Chapter 3 of Part 57 of Division 9 of Title 3 of the Education Code.
(k)In September 2020, the College completed a three-year project to examine founder S.C. Hastings involvement in mass killings of Native Americans in Californias Eden and Round Valleys before the Colleges founding.
(l)The project determined that the founder of the College, S.C. Hastings, perpetrated genocidal acts against Native California Indigenous Peoples, most especially the Yuki Tribe, in the 1850s in the Eden Valley and Round Valley areas in the County of Mendocino.
(m)For a period of four years preceding this act, the College collaborated with the Round Valley Indian Tribes Tribal Council and Yuki Tribal members in pursuit of restorative justice. As one of several restorative justice actions, on November 2, 2021, the Board of Directors of the College unanimously authorized that the name of the College be changed.
(n)In connection with the name change authorization, the Board of Directors of the College determined that changing the name of the College is in the best interests of the continuation of the College in perpetuity, and is an element of the Colleges ongoing work to address the needs of the current generation of Yuki Tribal members and the Colleges legal community.
(o)An act of the Legislature is needed to change the name of the College.
(p)On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of the College voted on the replacement name for the College. This vote was informed through multiple consultative meetings with the Round Valley Indian Tribes, a federally recognized tribal government, and its designees of the Yuki Indian Committee approved by the Round Valley Indian Tribes. During the consultation period, the Yuki Indian Committee representatives forwarded the name Powenom as the replacement name for the College. After due consideration, the Board of Directors of the College voted unanimously to make the final recommendation to replace Hastings College of the Law with College of the Law, San Francisco.
(p)(q)S.C. Hastings, founder of the Hastings College of the Law, promoted and financed Native American hunting expeditions in the Eden and Round Valleys, funding bounties resulting in the massacre of hundreds of Yuki men, women, and children.
(q)(r)S.C. Hastings enriched himself through the seizure of large parts of these lands and financed the college of the law bearing his namesake with a $100,000 donation.
(r)(s)S.C. Hastings and the state bear significant responsibility for the irreparable harm caused to the Yuki people and the Native American people of the state.
(s)(t)The state has formally apologized to the Native American people of the state for the genocide financed and perpetrated by the state.
