The following resource provides a listing of major State of California constitutional provisions and laws in chronological order that have shaped California's pioneering higher education system. This resource, like the major planning studies offered in this Master Plan Websource, are in a searchable form. A brief description of the importance of each provision, amendment and new law is offered. Also offered is the current California Education Code.
