Requesting the establishment of a state university governance interim study committee

The study committee shall receive input from representatives of the state universities, the department of workforce development, the economic development authority, the community colleges, current and former state university students, and the parents of students who currently attend or who formerly attended a state university. The study committee shall determine the appropriate role, scope, and mission of the board of directors to be established for each state university, and the appropriate role for each university president; and shall examine the current Code requirements relating to the state board of regents and the institutions of higher learning it governs, including but not limited to the responsibilities or duties of the board as set forth in Code chapters 262 through 271. In creating a model, the committee shall provide for clear delineation between governance and management responsibilities for each state university board of directors, and identify the entity responsible for the duties and other provisions identified in the examination performed. The study committee shall submit a report, including findings and recommendations, to the general assembly by November 29, 2019.
