The Kansas Board of Regents met Wednesday to discuss several items related to K-State.According to a press release from K-State Communications and Marketing, President Kirk Shulz gave an update on the U.S. News and World Report Best Graduate Schools ranking, which listed the university as improved in three colleges, two of which received an increase in financial support by the Kansas Legislature last year.
Student Body President Reagan Kays discussed the proposed non-academic misconduct notation policy during the Students’ Advisory Committee report. Kays requested that the Governance Committee review the policy, which if adopted, would place a notation on the academic transcripts of students disciplined by the university in assault cases.
The Regents also approved amendments to the Fiscal Year 2015 Capital Improvement Plan and Rehabilitation and Repair Projects. Also approved was the purchase of an office building in the Manhattan Corporate Technology Park, which will be a temporary location for members of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design affected by the Seaton Court renovation scheduled to begin this summer.
