Regents to conduct March meeting virtually
(Topeka, Kan.) - The Kansas Board of Regents will hold its regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Wednesday, March 18, at 1:30 p.m. However, due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, the meeting will be held in a virtual format, with Regents and most presenters joining the meeting remotely.
As with in-person meetings in Topeka, the virtual meeting will be live streamed on the Regents’ website. While the current plan is to have an option for the public to listen to the meeting at the Board office, all are encouraged to use the live stream.
The Board’s live stream will be available at https://www.kansasregents.org/board_meeting_live_stream.
The agenda for the March meeting will be available at https://www.kansasregents.org/about/regent_meetings_agendas_and_minutes.
The Regents will no longer conduct a campus visit at the Medical Center on March 19.
