Method: The research method guiding data collection and analysis was hermeneutics and narrative policy analysis. Results: This inquiry revealed the limited but significant role played by the state’s community colleges. Contributions: These findings illuminate the hierarchy that organizes some state’s public higher education systems and the power centers within them.
