AB 89 |
Jones-Sawyer |
Oppose unless Amended |
The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) is writing to express its reluctant opposition to AB 89 (Jones-Sawyer, as of September 3, 2021). AB 89 would require the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to establish a certification program for specified peace officers, including officers of the Department of the California Highway Patrol, and would require the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to develop a modern policing degree program, with the commission and other stakeholders to serve as advisors, as specified, and to submit a report on recommendations to the legislature outlining a plan to implement the program on or before June 1, 2023. |

AB 928 |
Berman |
Oppose unless Amended |
The undersigned organizations are respectively opposed to AB 928 (Berman) unless it is amended with the amendments below. While we agree with the author and the sponsors of the measure that the transfer process between community colleges and our four-year partners needs to be improved, we do not think AB 928 (Berman) as written will have a positive impact for our students. AB 928 (Berman) will create a committee designated with providing recommendations towards changing the transfer process, a single general education transfer pathway for students intending to transfer to either the University of California (UC) or the California State University (CSU), and automatically place students in an associate degree for transfer (ADT) program for the CSU regardless of their academic goals or intentions. |
