As such, the University and K12 education entities are expressly stated within the constitution, but the community colleges are not. Article 7 of the Wyoming Constitution states that the “Legislature shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a complete and uniform system of public instruction, embracing free elementary schools of every needed kind and grade, a university with such technical and professional departments as the public good may require and the means of the state allow, and such other institutions as may be necessary (emphasis added).” Although not specifically stated in the constitution, the latter statement and subsequent Legislative actions indicate a broad understanding that the community colleges are “necessary institutions” of education for Wyoming. The community colleges have been specifically added to the Wyoming Statutes consistently since inception with the role of the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC), which serves as the representative agency for coordination, advocacy, funding, and efficiency/accountability on behalf of the State and community college education statewide.
