After nearly a decade of contention regarding the oversight of Nevada's higher education system, state legislators are hoping voters will support a constitutional amendment to overhaul the current governance structure.
The proposed ballot measure, known as Question 1, seeks to transform the board of regents from an elected body with significant power into an entity subject to oversight, aligning it with other executive agencies.
The Nevada System of Higher Education has faced chaotic leadership changes and controversies fueled by regent decisions, such as misleading funding information and pressuring a university president to resign.
Tensions between the State Legislature and the regents have reached a boiling point, prompting lawmakers to address accountability issues and consider drastic budget cuts resulting from a loss of trust in leadership.
