(c) In 1967, the Oklahoma Legislature enacted Senate Bill No. 2, which provided for the establishment and operation of community junior colleges under the jurisdiction of the coordinating board of the State System, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Municipal junior colleges existing at that time were by provision of this law made parts of the community college system. These included El Reno Junior College (now Redlands Community College), Poteau Junior College (now Carl Albert State College), Sayre Junior College (now a branch campus of Southwestern Oklahoma State University) and Seminole Junior College. After enactment of that law two new community junior colleges were established: Oscar Rose Junior college (now Rose State College) in Midwest City and South Oklahoma City Junior College (now Oklahoma City Community College). This made a total of six community junior colleges, all of which operated as a part of the public system of higher education under the general coordination of the State Regents. In 1973, the Oklahoma legislature made legal provisions for community junior colleges to be converted to full-fledged state two-year colleges and directed the State Regents to have responsibility for administration of the law. See, 70 O.S., § 4423. Subsequently, all six of the above name community junior colleges except Sayre Junior college applied for and were officially converted to state junior colleges pursuant to this act.
