At key times during the state’s budget cycle, we post tables containing important information about the education parts of the budget. Specifically, we post tables in January, May, and October. The January tables generally reflect the Governor’s Budget proposal, the May tables reflect the Governor’s May Revision, and the October tables reflect the final enacted budget. The tables currently highlighted are for the state’s enacted 2015-16 budget. The tables cover all areas of education, with tables on K-12 education, adult and workforce education, community colleges, universities, financial aid, child care and preschool.

Declarations, Reports, and Requirements for Universitiesa

University of California

Findings and declarations

(1) The UC Regents have endorsed a long-term funding framework that calls for flat tuition in 2015-16 and 2016-17 and actions to reduce the cost structure of the university.

(2) The framework will create capacity for all campuses to serve more resident students.

(3) Funding besides state funding (such as financial aid currently provided to nonresident students) is available to serve more resident students.

(4) The Legislature intends for funds from nonresident enrollment growth and nonresident tuition increases be used to increase resident enrollment.

(5) The appropriation in the 2015-16 budget for unfunded liabilities of the University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP) does not constitute an obligation on behalf of the state to appropriate any additional funds in subsequent years for UCRP.

Reporting requirements

(1) Report by November 30, 2015 a sustainability plan with enrollment projections, performance targets, and changes needed to ensure expenditures do not exceed available resources, using General Fund and tuition revenue assumptions provided by the Department of Finance.

(2) Report by December 1, 2015 on performance and cost reduction measures undertaken as a result of the Select Advisory Committee on the Cost Structure of the University.

(3) Supplemental report by December 10, 2015 on university fund sources legally allowable to support educational costs, the factors used to determine which funds support educational activities, and the sources of funds used to calculate educational costs.

(4) Report by April 1, 2016 on funds used for targeted support services to increase graduation rates of low-income and underrepresented students.

(5) Upon receipt of funding appropriated for the UCRP unfunded liability, UC must submit a report demonstrating the funds have been used to supplement and not supplant funding otherwise available for UCRP.

Measure

Description

Implementation Time Line

Streamline Transfer Pathways

UC is to closely align its lower-division requirements for its 20 most popular majors with those used by CSU and CCC for associate degrees for transfer. It also will consider adopting the common course numbering system used by CSU and CCC.

During 2015-16 and 2016-17.

Increase Transfer Enrollment

UC has committed to admitting one transfer student for every two freshman students at all campuses (but Merced).

By 2017-18.

Review Units Required for Majors

UC has agreed to reduce the number of units required for a major to no more than 45 upper-division units “wherever possible” in 75 percent of majors at each campus (except the Los Angeles campus because it already has undertaken such a review).

Not specified.

Review Exam Credit Policies

The UC President is to strongly encourage UC faculty to review its policies on awarding credits to students successfully passing (1) Advanced Placement tests taken in high school and (2) exams administered by the College Board to measure mastery of college-level material.

Not specified.

Create Alternative Pricing Models for Summer Session

Three campuses are to create alternative pricing models for the summer session to provide an incentive for more students to enroll during that term.

Start by summer 2016.

Identify Three-Year Degree Pathways

UC is to identify three-year degree pathways in 10 of its top 15 majors, with a goal of having 5 percent of students enrolled in these accelerated degree pathways.

Develop degree pathways by March 1, 2016.Achieve enrollment goal by summer 2017.

Increase Use of Data and Technology

UC is to report on how campuses are using data and technology to help students succeed and close achievement gaps. It also will initiate a multicampus pilot program to use adaptive learning technologies to improve instruction and student persistence.

Not specified.

Expand Online Course Offerings

UC is to expand upon efforts begun in recent years to increase the number of online courses it offers. As part of this effort, UC will convene a group of industry leaders to identify which online certificate and master’s degree programs could benefit California’s workforce.

Convene industry group during summer 2015. No time line specified for course expansion.

Implement New Way of Calculating Costs

Three UC campuses are to pilot “activity-based costing” to calculate educational costs in certain departments.

Not specified.
