ACA 20: University of California: students: paid opportunities.

The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust, and requires the university to be administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes. These provisions grant the regents all the powers necessary or convenient for the effective administration of its trust.

This measure would require all students attending the University of California, regardless of immigration status, to be eligible to apply for and accept paid opportunities at the University of California, including, but not limited to, employment, fellowships, residencies, apprenticeships, and contract work. The measure would require the regents to adopt policies consistent with that requirement.
