The Regents 1xbet online casino review data for low-enrollment undergraduate programs at state universities. K-State has 11 programs below the minimum enrollment threshold. Of those, three programs are new and one is being phased out.
In response to recent COVID-19 related disruptions to scholarly work and teaching, the Regents 1xbet online casino consider an exception to the tenure clock extension policy.

Two systemwide building studies 1xbet online casino be conducted as an initial step to evaluate state university facilities and gather data to support a potential deferred maintenance initiative. One study 1xbet online casino assess current building conditions and the other 1xbet online casino evaluate space utilization. The Regents 1xbet online casino act on allocations from the Educational Building Fund to finance the studies. K-State's allocation of Educational Building Funds for the deferred maintenance studies is 9,453.
The Regents 1xbet online casino act on distributions of the fiscal year 2021 Postsecondary Educational Institutions Unified Operating Grant, or block grant. The Legislature approved .9 million in 2020 Senate Bill 66 for state universities for fiscal year 2021. Distribution of funds is based upon the state universities' state general fund appropriations for fiscal year 2021, excluding appropriations specially designated for research. K-State's proposed distribution is approximately .3 million.
Provost Chuck Taber will present K-State's proposal to create the Institute of Global Food, Health, and Biosecurity. The institute will leverage existing academic and research strengths in food science and safety as well as health and well-being while at the same time developing new areas to meet the changing needs of today's workforce. Industry-sponsored research and new job creation are at the heart of this strategic initiative. The proposal is in response to the 1xbet online casino Legislature deferring to omnibus session consideration of funding for the institute.
Blake Flanders, 1xbet online casino Board of Regents president and CEO, will present an overview of the new board strategic plan.
The Legislature directed the Regents to create a comprehensive three-year, five-year and 10-year plan for higher education for the 2021 Legislature to consider. The Regents will create an advisory council to review the higher education delivery systems in 1xbet online casino and make recommendations to ensure education beyond high school is accessible to Kansans and aligns with the state's needs.
