The new regulations:
Hold districts accountable for implementing
practices designed to increase diversity and
eradicate barriers to underrepresented groups.
 Give districts the independence and the
responsibility to design and implement strategies
that make sense for their particular
communities.
 Emphasize and expect systematic self-evaluation
of practices that are focused at the district level.

FT FACULTY OBLIGATION NUMBER

The regulations direct calculations for full
and part time faculty are being changed to
exclude parcel tax revenues from the
calculations.
§55003 PREREQUISITES

Allows colleges to establish prerequisites and
corequisites through content review and
would not require content review with
statistical validation, though colleges would
have the option to use either method to
establish prerequisites and corequisites.
§58771 FUNDING FOR NEW
COLLEGES AND NEW CENTERS



Beginning in the 2010-11 fiscal year, basic
allocation funding augmentations for new
colleges, new centers, and for increases in
college size, will be provided in the year following
the approval or increase in size occurs.
The Chancellor’s Office and the Association of
Chief Business Officials (ACBO) board members
agree that improving funding predictability is
especially important when the system is running
a general deficit due to revenue shortfalls from
property taxes or student fees.
Waiting to fund any new college, new center, or
increase in college size until the following fiscal
year, will prevent late-year funding shortfalls for
the system caused by such augmentations.
