The Kansas Board of Regents meets Wednesday, May 14, and Thursday, May 15, at the Curtis State Office Building in Topeka. A livestream is available.

K-State items on the consent agenda include:

• The Regents will act on the fiscal year 2026 Johnson County Education Research Triangle, or JCERT, budgets. Funds for K-State support research and education programs in animal health and food safety and security, as well as other graduate programs at K-State Olathe.
• The Regents will act on the distribution of the fiscal year 2026 appropriation for public university student success playbooks. Funding is used for student success initiatives to improve the retention and graduation rates of students. K-State is expected to receive approximately $1.2 million.

K-State items on the discussion agenda:

• The Regents will receive first read presentations and discuss university tuition and fee proposals for fiscal year 2026 from the six state universities.
• The Regents will act on the distribution of need-based aid for the public universities for fiscal year 2026.
• The Regents will act on fiscal year 2027 capital improvement requests and five-year capital plans.
• The Regents will act on revised allocations of fiscal year 2026 Campus Restoration Act, or CRA, funds. The Regents approved allocations to the state universities for fiscal year 2026 at the December 2024 meeting. The 2025 Legislature reduced the planned amount of state funding to be provided for the first year of the six-year act and directed the reduction be prorated across the institutions. K-State’s allocation is expected to be reduced from $8.97 million to $8.28 million.

The Regents will elect the board chair and vice chair for fiscal year 2026.
