Under existing law, the Department of Postsecondary Education, and its chief executive officer, entitled Chancellor, is a parallel organization to the State Department of Education that is directly responsible to the State Board of Education for the direction and supervision of two-year institutions of higher education.
This bill would establish an independent Alabama Community College System in lieu of the Department of Postsecondary Education and would provide for the assumption by the Chancellor of the system and the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Community College System of all duties and responsibilities for community and technical colleges in the state.
