AI Summary

  • Expands the Equity in Higher Education Act to request California State University, University of California, and community college districts designate LGBTQIA2S+ point-of-contact employees at satellite campuses, branch locations, and outreach centers, not just main campuses

  • Current law already requires CSU and community colleges (and requests UC) to have a designated employee at each main campus to serve as a resource for lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender, gender-nonconforming, intersex, and two-spirit faculty, staff, and students

  • Contact information for designated employees must be published on the website and in printed/online directories for each satellite, branch, or outreach center

  • Designated point-of-contact employees are not considered "responsible employees" for Title IX purposes and cannot disclose confidential information about alleged sexual harassment, violence, or discrimination without written consent

  • Introduced by Senator Cervantes on February 20, 2026; requires majority vote, no appropriation, and applies to UC only if the Regents adopt it by resolution
