PIERRE, S.D. (AP) _ Officials from South Dakota's public
universities are meeting with state lawmakers to discuss the
schools' spending plans.
The Board of Regents, which oversees the six state universities,
will present its budget recommendations Tuesday to the
Legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard's budget proposal would spend a total of
nearly $800 million next year on higher education. About $167
million of that would come from state general tax funds, with the
rest coming from federal and other sources.
Members of the Board of Regents have said pay raises for faulty
members should be the top priority in next year's budget for the
state universities.
