Speakers:

The Higher Ed Funding Committee heard a presentation from the North Dakota University System staff on how other states identify and review "low‑producing" academic programs and then reviewed a draft funding formula for state institutions (separate treatments proposed for UND/NDSU and nine other campuses). Committee members pressed for clarity on thresholds, exemptions for mission‑critical programs, hold‑harmless protections and next steps, and asked the State Board of Higher Education to deliver a detailed proposal by the committee's June meeting.
