South Dakota Board of Regents

The South Dakota Board of Regents governs South Dakota's six public universities: Black Hills State University, Dakota State University, Northern State University, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, South Dakota State University, and the University of South Dakota. In addition, the board governs the state's two special schools, the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the South Dakota School for the Deaf. The board also oversees several university centers, including South Dakota Public Universities and Research Center in Sioux Falls, Capitol University Center in Pierre, and the Higher Education Center-West River in Rapid City. The board also maintains an Electronic University Consortium to offer courses statewide, and has articulation agreements with the state's four technical institutes: Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls, Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown, Mitchell Technical Institute in Mitchell, and Western Dakota Technical Institute in Rapid City.

The Board of Regents controls all institutional decisions for the six public universities in South Dakota, operating with a total budget of approximately $306 million. The board is made up of nine members, eight of whom serve six-year terms, and all of whom are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the state senate. The ninth member is a student regent, who is a full voting member but serves only a two-year term. The board employs an Executive Director to coordinate legislation, oversee and work with university presidents, and ensure that the board's goals are carried out. The current executive director is Dr. Robert T. "Tad" Perry.

As of July 2008, the members of the Board of Regents are as follows:

*Harvey C. Jewett IV, Aberdeen - board president
*Terry Baloun, Highmore - board vice president
*Dr. Kathryn O. Johnson, Hill City - board secretary

*Dr. James O. Hansen, Pierre - chairman of the committee on finance and budget
*Dr. Richard G. Bellati, Madison
*Dean Krogman, Brookings
*Carole Pagones, Sioux Falls
*Melanie J. Satchell, Rapid City - student member

The Board of Regents also sponsors a number of endowed scholarships, including: the Ardell Bjugstad Scholarship Program for Native American Students, the Haines Memorial Scholarship, the Annis Irene Fowler/Kaden Scholarship, and the Marlin R. Scarborough Memorial Scholarship.
