“A community college under the Florida K-20 Educational Code is an arm of the state for purposes of immunity under the Eleventh Amendment. A community college is a creature of state law, and Florida maintains substantial control over community' colleges through the State Board of Education. The board of trustees of the community college must submit a budget to the State Board of Education and must account for all expenditures. Finally, the state bears po tential legal liability and risk of a judgment against a community college.”
