The following bill has been proposed and I wanted to get your thoughts on its impact. I know some of you have direct dealings with the eligibility side of LAEP, so I would appreciate your feedback on the implications (positive/negative) this bill would have
as written. I'm working wiht our State Government team on this, so if you have feedback please provide
<b>no later than Tuesday, March 14. </b>Thank you.</div>

campuses to prioritize eligible students from underrepresented backgrounds, as defined by the commission, for learning-aligned employment positions. The bill also would delete the authorization for research centers and institutions and instead authorize public
postsecondary institutions to employ participating students if their learning-aligned employment opportunities provide participating students with employment experience related to the student’s major or provide opportunities for skill attainment necessary
for employment within their areas of study after graduation.</span><span class="x_ContentPasted0" style="color:red"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </span></span></p>
