SB 1328: Public postsecondary education: Equity in Higher Education Act: campus contact.

The Equity in Higher Education Act establishes the policy of the state to afford all persons, regardless of specified characteristics, including gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, equal rights and opportunities in the postsecondary educational institutions of the state. The act requires the Trustees of the California State University and the governing board of a community colleges district, and requests the Regents of the University of California, to designate an employee at each of their respective campuses as a point of contact for the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender, gender-nonconforming, intersex, and two-spirit faculty, staff, and students.

This bill would request the trustees, the regents, and the governing board of a community college district require the trustees and the governing board of a community college district, and would request the regents, to also designate an employee as a point of contact for the needs of the above-described faculty, staff, and students of any satellite, branch, or outreach center of a campus, as specified. a branch campus, satellite location, or site other than the main campus, as specified. The bill would define branch campus, satellite location, and main campus for this purpose. To the extent the bill would impose new duties on a community college district, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
