Section 66003 Of Chapter 1.5. Legislative Findings From California Education Code >> Division 5. >> Title 3. >> Part 40. >> Chapter 1.5.

. It is the intent of the Legislature to outline in statute the broad policy and programmatic goals of the master plan and clear, concise statewide goals and outcomes for effective implementation of the master plan, attuned to the public interest of the people and State of California, and to expect the system as a whole and the higher education segments to be accountable for attaining those goals. However, consistent with the spirit of the original master plan and the subsequent updates, it is the intent of the Legislature that the governing boards be given ample discretion in implementing policies and programs necessary to attain those goals.
