reporting to the Instructional Commission. You can see <a href="https://www.sbctc.edu/resources/documents/colleges-staff/commissions-councils/wactc/wactc-org-chart.pdf">
the current org. chart here. </a> We should be prepared to discuss this as well since there may be potential for debate about whether we should be under the WA State Student Services Commission instead.
