CA AB2402

Requires California State University trustees to establish procedures for changes to campus admission criteria that affect applicants in the local service area, including mandatory stakeholder consultation, three public hearings, and internet publication of notices and comments.

Mandates campuses provide at least 10 days' notice before the first public meeting or hearing, publish all public comments and university responses on the campus website, and distribute final decisions to community officials and local high schools.

Requires campus presidents to submit proposed admission changes to the Chancellor for approval, with the Chancellor reporting the decision and reasoning to the trustees in writing at their next regular meeting.

Establishes one-year waiting period after Chancellor approval before admission criteria changes take effect; reduces to six months for changes based on resources.

Applies requirements to all admission criteria changes affecting local service area applicants' eligibility, including transfer requirements and major impaction determinations.
