It is the intent of the Legislature, while maintaining the maximum utilization of funds provided for the support of public higher education, to provide increased access to higher education for all residents of this state, to permit maximum use of existing facilities and academic resources of the California State University campuses, to provide for the orderly growth and expansion of the state’s system of higher education, and to allow for effective long-range planning to meet the needs of the institutions of higher education while maintaining the quality of that education.

Thus, it is the intent of the Legislature to establish year-round operations at the California State University where practical.
