The Legislature hereby encourages the Board of Regents to:

(a)

Examine and audit the function, strengths and most efficient use of the facilities, resources and staff of each institution to address the needs of the students of the System.

(b)

Review periodically their mission for higher education, as the number of institutions within the System expands and the focus of each institution is defined and further redefined, to determine whether there is unnecessary duplication of programs or courses within the System which might be more appropriate for a different institution.

(c)

Examine and audit the educational opportunities, programs and services offered by the institutions within the System to ensure that those opportunities, programs and services are tailored appropriately to:

(1)

The different categories of students and prospective students having varied aptitudes, aspirations and educational needs, including, without limitation, students who are veterans;

(2)

The jobs and industries likely to be employing the students; and

(3)

The state economic development plan.

(d)

Insofar as is practicable to achieve the goals set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), implement measures pursuant to which the educational needs of students and prospective students will be met by:

(1)

Providing:
(I) Programs of remedial education, continuing education and entry-level higher education at community colleges.
(II) Programs of baccalaureate-level higher education at state colleges.
(III) Programs of baccalaureate-level higher education in other disciplines and graduate-level higher education and research at universities and the Desert Research Institute.

(2)

Fostering a culture that recognizes the unique challenges of students who are veterans and works to accommodate the transition of those students to higher education by collecting, tracking and sharing data concerning those students.

(e)

On or before September 1 of each year, provide a report of its findings and any adjustments made and actions taken as a result of those findings to the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau for transmission to the Interim Finance Committee and the next regular session of the Nevada Legislature.
