This report summarizes the findings from two years of study on issues involving the governance of the California public community college system. Section 1 reviews the history of California's community colleges and describes challenges they currently face, such as inconsistent compensation and operational costs, changing enrollment demand, and conflicted faculty. Section 2 presents basic information on the characteristics and evolution of the colleges, as well as a summary of major external pressures confronting them. The third section summarizes selected findings from previous studies on community college governance issues. Section 4 lists key characteristics of higher education governing boards, and section 5 offers seven recommendations for achieving a more unified governance. At the end of this study, the Commission concluded that there is no need for a radical restructuring of the college system, that it would be sufficient to redistribute authority and administrative responsibility between the State Board of Governors and local community college boards of trustees.
