(Part 1)

Governance

 Arizona legislation continues both the State Board of Directors for Community Colleges and the Commission for Postsecondary Education for ten years.

 Arizona's State Board of Directors for Community Colleges received a two-year appropriation to establish a new community college campus.

 Legislation provides for the state superintendent to serve as an ex-officio member of Idaho's State Board of Education.

 Legislation in New Mexico restricts the creation of new campuses and establishes a review and approval process by the Commission on Higher Education and the legislature for creating public campuses or institutions.

 In Washington, governing boards will now have student representation.
