Status Report on Human Corps Activities. Report 88-24.
California State Postsecondary Education Commission, Sacramento.
The University of California (UC)and the California State University (CSU) were called upon by the legislature to implement Human Corps programs of community service by students on each of their campuses. The California Postsecondary Education Commission was directed to report on efforts by colleges and universities across the country to encourage volunteerism and to review and comment on the Human Corps activities at UC and CSU. Information describing current activities are described rather than evaluated. A report about Human Corps activities is attached, and CSU activities are discussed in detail. Generalizations about its programs include the following: there is a serious commitment to the purpose and objectives of the Human Corps (made obvious by the considerable activity on the campuses); financial resources are being sought from multiple public and private sources to support the Human Corps program efforts; the cost of monitoring Human Corps activities will likely fall to the state; and in less than a year, the development of the Human Corps at UC and CSU has been impressive. An appendix provides a copy of Assembly Bill 1820 (Vasconcellos, 1987). Tables are included. Attachments comprising two-thirds of the document include information on campus programs, contacts, and taskforces, as well as a 35-page draft report of the CSU Task Force on Civil Service Internships (July 1987).
