SJR 86 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Replaces the Coordinating Board for Higher Education with a director appointed by the Governor

SJR 86 would replace the current Coordinating Board for Higher Education with a single director appointed directly by the Governor. This change shifts oversight of higher education governance from a board of members to a gubernatorial appointee. The bill directly affects how state higher education policy is managed and administered. It is a procedural resolution focused on restructuring oversight authority, not on specific educational programs or funding.
