66040. The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:
(a) Since its adoption in 1960, the Master Plan for Higher
Education has served the state exceedingly well, allowing California
to create the largest and most distinguished higher education system
in the nation. A key component of the Master Plan is the
differentiation of mission and function, whereby doctoral and
identified professional programs are limited to the University of
California, with the provision that the California State University
can provide doctoral education in joint doctoral degree programs with
the University of California and independent California colleges and
universities. This differentiation of function has allowed
California to provide universal access to postsecondary education
while preserving quality.
(b) Because of the urgent need for well-prepared administrators to
lead public school and community college reform efforts, the State
of California is hereby making an exception to the differentiation of
function in graduate education that assigns sole authority among the
California public higher education segments to the University of
California for awarding doctoral degrees independently. This
exception to the Master Plan for Higher Education recognizes the
urgency of meeting critical public school and community college
leadership needs and the distinctive strengths and respective
missions of the California State University and the University of
California.
66040.3. (a) Pursuant to Section 66040, and notwithstanding Section
66010.4, in order to meet specific educational leadership needs in
the California public schools and community colleges, the California
State University is authorized to award the Doctor of Education
(Ed.D.) degree as defined in this section. The authority to award
degrees granted by this article is limited to the discipline of
education. The Doctor of Education degree offered by the California
State University shall be distinguished from doctoral degree programs
at the University of California.
(b) The Doctor of Education degree offered by the California State
University shall be focused on preparing administrative leaders for
California public elementary and secondary schools and community
colleges and on the knowledge and skills needed by administrators to
be effective leaders in California public schools and community
colleges. The Doctor of Education degree offered by the California
State University shall be offered through partnerships through which
the California public elementary and secondary schools and community
colleges shall participate substantively in program design, candidate
recruitment and admissions, teaching, and program assessment and
evaluation. This degree shall enable professionals to earn the degree
while working full time.
(c) Nothing in this article shall be construed to limit or
preclude the California Postsecondary Education Commission from
exercising its authority under Chapter 11 (commencing with Section
66900) to review, evaluate, and make recommendations relating to, any
and all programs established under this article.
66040.5. With regard to funding the degree programs authorized in
Section 66040.3, the California State University shall follow all of
the following requirements:
(a) Funding on a per full-time equivalent student (FTES) basis for
each new student in these degree programs shall be funded from
within the California State University's enrollment growth levels as
agreed to in the annual Budget Act. Enrollments in these programs
shall not alter the California State University's ratio of graduate
instruction to total enrollment, and shall not come at the expense of
enrollment growth in university undergraduate programs. Funding
provided from the state for each FTES shall be at the agreed-upon
marginal cost calculation that the California State University
receives.
(b) Each student in the programs authorized by this article shall
be charged fees no higher than the rate charged for students in
state-supported doctoral degree programs in education at the
University of California, including joint Ed.D. programs of the
California State University and the University of California.
(c) The California State University shall provide any startup
funding needed for the programs authorized by this article from
within existing budgets for academic programs support, without
diminishing the quality of program support offered to California
State University undergraduate programs. Funding of these programs
shall not result in reduced undergraduate enrollments at the
California State University.
66040.7. The California State University, the Department of
Finance, and the Legislative Analyst's Office shall jointly conduct a
statewide evaluation of the new programs implemented under this
article. The results of the evaluation shall be reported, in writing,
to the Legislature and Governor on or before January 1, 2011. The
evaluation required by this section shall consider all of the
following:
(a) The number of new doctoral programs in education implemented,
including information identifying the number of new programs,
applicants, admissions, enrollments, degree recipients,
time-to-degree, attrition, and public school and community college
program partners.
(b) The extent to which the programs established under this
article are fulfilling identified state needs for training in
educational leadership, including statewide supply and demand data
that considers capacity at the University of California and in
California's independent colleges and universities.
(c) Information on the place of employment of students and the
subsequent job placement of graduates.
(d) Any available evidence on the effects that the graduates of
the programs are having on elementary and secondary school and
community college reform efforts and on student achievement.
(e) Program costs and the fund sources that were used to finance
these programs, including a calculation of cost per degree awarded.
(f) The costs of the programs to students, the amount of financial
aid offered, and student debt levels of graduates of the programs.
(g) The extent to which the programs established under this
article are in compliance with the requirements of this article.
