Purpose of the Organization

Attempting to foster cooperation and communication among Ohio's two-year institutions of higher education, the OATYC provides the viewpoint of the state-assisted two-year campuses to the Ohio Board of Regents and to the State Legislature, while increasing the contribution of the state-assisted two-year colleges to the total educational process in Ohio.  Additionally, the organization is committed to the following purposes:

OACC

Information for trustees of Ohio's two-year colleges is provided by the Ohio Association of Community Colleges which was founded in 1993 as a forum for sound trustee training, communication, and trustee-president cooperation.

OFSCTC

The Ohio Faculty Senate of Community and Technical Colleges, established in 1995, is made up of representatives chosen by the faculty from each two-year college in Ohio. The OFSCTC, which meets four times annually in the offices of the Regents, provides the voice and perspective of the two-year faculty to the Chancellor and Regents on the relevant issues facing higher education.

AACC

The American Association of Community Colleges is the primary national advocacy organization for community colleges, with the mission of "building a nation of learners."
