The bill requires the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, the Chancellor of the California State University, and requests the President of the University of California, to require each of their campuses providing campus-owed, campus-operated, or campus-affiliated student housing to collect student-housing data. The institutions must collect the following information:
- The number of enrolled students.
- Existing campus housing stock, including, but not limited to, the number of available beds on campus.
- The number of students on the campus-housing waiting list and how many students have removed themselves from the waiting list since the last report.
- If available, the number of students who request campus-owned, campus-operated, or campus-affiliated student housing.
- If available, the number of incoming freshmen, transfer students, and international students requiring campus-owned, campus-operated, or campus-affiliated student housing.
The bill requires the institutions to post the information on their external and internal websites at least twice each academic year. The bill also requires the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, the Chancellor of the California State University, and requests the office of the President of the University of California to submit one report that compiles all of the campus data collected.
(AB 2459 adds Section 66014.6 to the Education Code.)
