CARSON CITY — The Board of Regents, which governs State universities and colleges, will have the power to set tuition prices based on demand and the cost of academic programs, according to a draft law approved by the Senate on Friday.
Without debate, the Senate voted 21-0 for SB 449, which now goes to the Assembly.
Regents will have to present a biennial report to the legislature concerning the number and proportion of students who earn a degree or certificate. Figures should be compared to national statistics.
Schools will also have to adapt their programmes with the MDGs in the Commission for economic development.
A scholarship program will be established for low-income countries students to participate in more expensive courses during the count.
