Board of Regents

A $15.5 million supplemental operating budget request for 2022 was approved by the Washington State University Board of Regents Nov. 19.

Regents kick off a two-day retreat in Seattle on June 3. Discussions of the OneWSU system structure as well as what developments WSU Health Sciences Spokane will see in the coming years, among other topics, will be discussed.

Regents met for a series of hybrid in‑person and virtual meetings May 6–7 on the campus of WSU Health Sciences Spokane.

The naming of the football field inside Martin Stadium and halting the use of SAT and ACT test scores in the admissions process were among the actions taken by the WSU Board of Regents during its meeting on Friday, March 12.

Members of the public can watch the proceedings live on YouTube and can request to speak during the public comment period of the meeting by registering online.

Among the goals are developing plans to enhance WSU’s presence in the greater Seattle area and developing fiscal plans to address expected state budget reductions due to COVID‑19.

The review cited the righting of the university’s finances, the realization of ambitious plans for health education in Spokane, and Schulz’s public accessibility, as chief accomplishments.

In compliance with social distancing guidelines, members of the Washington State University Board of Regents will conduct their May 7 and 8 meetings via Zoom.

Enrique Cerna, a veteran journalist with more than four decades of media experience in the Seattle area, officially took on his new role March 16.

The Regents also authorized a ten‑year lease for space on the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences campus in Yakima for the College of Nursing’s educational program.
