Explanation	IN 2017, THE CAMPAIGN FOR COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY'S ADVOCACY EFFORTS WERE FOCUSED ON ASSEMBLY BILL 705 (IRWIN) WHICH CHANGED ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT POLICIES AT THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO ENSURE THAT A GREATER NUMBER OF STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSES UPON ENTRY INTO COLLEGE THEREBY INCREASING THEIR LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A DEGREE, CERTIFICATE, OR TRANSFER. THE CAMPAIGN ALSO PURSUED AB 847 WHICH AIMED TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY OF LEADERSHIP AND FACULTY DIVERSITY AT CALIFORNIA'S COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. TO A LESSER EXTENT, ADVOCACY EFFORTS ALSO INCLUDED SUPPORT OF FOUR OTHER BILLS AND BUDGET PROPOSALS AROUND COMMUNITY COLLEGE GUIDED PATHWAYS FUNDING, INCREASING ENROLLMENT SLOTS AT FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITIES, AND INVESTMENTS TO CAL GRANTS.
