CA SB682

Appropriates $22,000,000 from the General Fund to the California State University for enrolling additional students

Expresses legislative intent that funds be used to enroll community college transfer students in the 2014 spring semester or quarter

Declares legislative intent for the appropriation to be made annually to provide access to classes and support services for community college transfer and future students

Finds that the California State University turned away tens of thousands of eligible students due to budget reductions, with an estimated 30,000 eligible students denied admission for the 2013-14 academic year

Notes that California's workforce will have one million fewer graduates than needed by 2025, and that increasing transfer rates from community colleges to four-year institutions would help reduce education and workforce gaps
