Bill > HB06330

This bill requires the Board of Regents for Higher Education to dissolve Connecticut State Community College and restore the twelve regional community-technical colleges as independent public higher education institutions. Essentially, the bill aims to reverse a previous consolidation that merged these twelve regional colleges into a single statewide community college system. By reinstating the colleges as separate entities, the bill seeks to potentially restore local autonomy, potentially improve localized educational programming, and potentially address concerns about centralized management. The bill appears to be a direct response to dissatisfaction with the current consolidated community college structure, with the goal of returning to a model where each regional community-technical college operates as its own distinct public institution of higher education.
