Bill > AB2374

This bill establishes a formal designation process for California Asian American- and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) to recognize and support colleges and universities that excel in providing academic resources to Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students. It creates a governing board composed of eight members, including state officials and designees from higher education segments, to review and approve applications for this designation, which will be valid for five years and can be renewed. A managing entity will be responsible for developing application procedures, accepting and processing applications, and presenting them to the governing board. To qualify for designation, institutions must demonstrate a commitment to the success of these student populations, set academic and equity goals, and outline a strategic plan for outreach, support services, resource allocation, and culturally relevant professional development for faculty and staff, supported by data on student retention, time-to-degree, and graduation rates.
