AB 1291 Passed

As blog readers will know, UC opposed a bill that would have created a common path for transfers from community colleges to both UC and CSU. Late in the legislative session, a watered down bill, AB 1291 - was passed the by the legislature that creates a pilot program for transferring into certain majors at UCLA. UC reportedly did not take a position on that bill which had to pass by Sept. 14th.* 

According to legislative records, it did pass and now awaits a decision by the governor to sign or veto. It seems likely that he will sign, given overwhelming support in both houses (which would technically render the bill veto-proof).

As we also noted, there is nothing in this bill that creates more slots for admission and enrollment. So if more come in through one door, fewer come in from some other portal.
