delegated to the school by the Board of Commissioners. In December
1993, CMHA's Board of Commissioners passed a resolution to
incorporate the CMHA School of Nursing and to appoint a board of
directors for the school. Degree granting authority was delegated
to the board of directors. The school was located on Blythe
