The public is invited to attend the Higher Education Task
Force outreach session at South
Dakota Mines on Oct. 5.
The South Dakota Board of Regents will hold an outreach
session at South Dakota Mines on Oct. 5 to follow up on the work of a higher
education task force that met over the past year. The public is invited to
attend.
This meeting will update the local community and state
legislators about the Senate Bill 55 Task Force process and recommendations, in
advance of a final report to be issued by Nov. 15. Representatives of the Board
of Regents, its staff, and Mines President Jim Rankin will be on hand to visit
with area residents.
The task force takes its name from a bill approved
by the 2020 South Dakota Legislature, which directed the Board of Regents to
study the operations and functions of higher education institutions under the
regents’ control.
The session at South Dakota Mines will be held at 7
p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 5, in the Classroom Building, Room 204, 501 E. St. Joseph
St.
