HIGHER ED/BD REGENTS: Requests the Board of Regents to conduct a study relative to the funding structure for public postsecondary education institutions

This bill asks the Board of Regents to study how Louisiana's public colleges and universities are funded. The study will examine current and historical funding sources, compare the state's approach with neighboring regions, and analyze rising education costs. By February 2027, the board must submit a report with findings and potential legal recommendations to state education and finance committees. This measure aims to address concerns about institutional stability and affordability by reviewing the financial framework for higher education.
