Ray M. Di Pasquale, president of the Community College of Rhode Island, was named the state’s higher-education commissioner on Monday. He will serve in the two jobs simultaneously, a decision that has drawn no serious complaints, according to The Providence Journal. In a written statement, Mr. Di Pasquale said that he had been a finalist for an out-of-state community-college presidency, but that “overwhelming support” had helped keep him in Rhode Island.

Is there no conflict of interest here? It appears to be similar to an owner being the commisioner of Baseball.

I am sure that the constitution allows for that to be possible,otherwise ,I did not think that he would have made such a move.As long as he keeps politics away from being the higher education commissioner and the President of the college,he will be fine.
