South Dakota's six Board of Regents universities will now receive state funding based on a new formula instead of previous methods. The formula splits funding so that 25% goes equally to all six universities for basic operations, while the remaining 75% is distributed based on how many students each university enrolls and the types of programs they offer (weighted by program value). A full-time student for funding purposes is defined as someone taking 30 credit hours of instruction.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
