520 |a After 40 years of efforts, the first bill authorizing the establishment of community colleges in the state of Ohio was finally adopted in June 1961. Before and after the passage of the act, attempts had been made to create a comprehensive community college system in Ohio, but all of them failed. A 1970 study by the Ohio Board of Regents (OBOR), for example, found that a lack of coordination among universities, technical schools, and community colleges led to a duplication of efforts and recommended the creation of comprehensive community colleges to better serve their communities. Public and private four-year universities, however, were against the recommendation fearing negative effects on enrollments. In 1992, a task force was created to suggest ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the state's public higher education system, recommending restructuring the two-year campuses and again advocating a comprehensive community college system. The task force also found that the public were often confused about the services available at community colleges. In response, while not establishing comprehensive systems, the OBOR established service expectations for all two-year colleges and regional campuses. While these expectations represent a possible starting point, attempts to create a comprehensive community college system in Ohio have so far failed because of political pressure from influential interest groups, including private colleges, proponents of vocational and technical education, and state four-year universities.
