Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education

The Board of Regents for Higher Education (BOR) is a government body in the U.S. state of Connecticut that oversees the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities (CSCU). CSCU and the BOR were created on July 1, 2011, consolidating the governance of the state's twelve community colleges, four state universities (but not the public University of Connecticut, which is governed separately), and Charter Oak State College.[1] The BOR assumed the powers and responsibilities of the respective former Boards of Trustees and the Board for State Academic Awards;[2] it also retains many responsibilities for setting statewide policy of the former Board of Governors for Higher Education.[3]
