Existing law states the intent of the Legislature that public programs of postsecondary education be made available to qualified persons throughout the state, including areas of substantial existing or projected population that are isolated from a campus of the California State University. Existing law requires the Trustees of the California State University to consider establishing a permanent, state-supported off-campus center on state-owned property in the County of Contra Costa, the purpose of which is to continue to offer education programs at the upper division and graduate levels.
