The Education/Higher Education Committee is a standing committee of the North Carolina State Senate.[1]
Per Section 31 of the Senate Rules, committees of the North Carolina State Senate are assigned by the president pro tempore. The rules do not specify when or how often committees are assigned, but they do give the president pro tempore the power to appoint the chair and vice chair of each standing committee.[2] The president pro tempore and deputy president pro tempore, as a function of their offices, also get to sit on each standing committee and subcommittee.[3]
