AN ACT ELIMINATING THE BOARD OF REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
SB 976 eliminates the existing Board of Regents for Higher Education and replaces it with two separate governing boards: one for community colleges and another for state universities. This bill directly affects all public higher education institutions currently overseen by the Board of Regents under Connecticut's statutes. The key mechanism is an amendment to Title 10a of the general statutes, which would formally remove the Board of Regents and reinstate the previously established boards. The change aims to restore a dual-board structure for managing community colleges and universities.
