California's AB 9, introduced by Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva, seeks to support community college students in transferring to California State University (Cal State) or University of California (UC) schools. The bill establishes guidelines for enrollment targets in disciplines and majors, aimed at improving equity and opportunities for over 80,000 annual transfers. It mandates data sharing and transparency regarding transfer student ratios, ensuring they are better positioned for success in their educational pursuits. Quirk-Silva, a former community college student, emphasizes communication improvements and the role of community colleges as essential education pathways.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that transfer students have equal opportunities to pursue their educational dreams and are better positioned to succeed once they transition to four-year universities.
With this bill, I want to enhance existing university systems communication and data sharing that will benefit students.
