Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary
education in this state. Existing law establishes community college
districts, administered by a governing board, throughout the state,
and authorizes these districts to, by majority vote, adopt a rule
delegating power to the district's chief executive officer.

chancellor of a community college district, as defined, from
