South Dakota Board of Regents

The South Dakota Board of Regents is proposing adding a civics literacy requirement to its academic curriculum.

For the next two months, South Dakota students looking to apply at a state university or technical college can do so for free.

There are 34,370 students in South Dakota’s university system – and that number has grown for a second consecutive year. Officials say it’s time for students to get back in the classroom.

Each year, the state must cut the pie to fund its public universities and their various projects. From teacher workforce to quantum computing, the Board of Regents say this year’s requests aim to keep the state looking forward.

While high school seniors are dreaming of moving into their dorm rooms – many in South Dakota’s government and university system dream of keeping their brains in the state. Now, there's a central resource connecting students to the state's schools.

The South Dakota Board of Regents has named a new executive director. With Supreme Court decisions, letters from the governor, and ever-present student concerns, the change comes during an interesting moment for higher education in the state.

In another 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court has ruled the president does not have the authority to authorize his proposed student debt relief plan. What is the response from South Dakota leaders?

With a new decision from the Supreme Court, colleges nationwide can no longer consider a student’s race during the admissions process. After decades of affirmative action, universities are left to ask – what now?

The South Dakota Board of Regents has appointed Nathan Lukkes as the next executive director and CEO.

Rep. Will Mortenson visits with SDPB's Lee Strubinger to discuss the South Dakota Board of Regents.
