Community College Act

The act establishes a state's public university as a legal entity, fixing its site, transferring to it earlier institutional powers and obligations, and defining its general powers, curriculum, course materials, and extension and correspondence offerings. Governance is vested in a board of regents, with provisions on qualifications, appointment, terms, quorum, public meetings, removal, indemnification, and reporting, alongside a president empowered to supervise appointees, remove officers, and suspend or expel students. It also authorizes specialized research institutes and centers within the university, creates a university public safety office, and prohibits religious or partisan instruction and tests as well as discrimination in university affairs.
