AI Summary

  • Proposes constitutional amendment to cap out-of-state undergraduate students at no more than 10% of incoming freshman classes and 10% of total undergraduate enrollment system-wide beginning with 2013-14 academic year

  • Defines "out-of-state undergraduate student" as any student whose residence was outside California when initially applying to UC

  • Cites trend of out-of-state admissions increasing from 11% to over 23% of freshman classes between 2009 and 2012, with largest increases at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC San Diego

  • Notes UC system policy already caps out-of-state enrollment at 10% system-wide, but cap is not being enforced at individual campuses

  • Justifies measure by referencing California's 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education and projected shortage of one million educated workers in California by 2025 if enrollment rates do not increase
