The Kansas Board of Regents is a mid-sized state government agency founded in 1925 and grounded in the Kansas Constitution to oversee higher education in the state. It serves as the governing board for the six state universities and as the statewide coordinating body for Kansas's 32 public higher education institutions, including a municipal university, 19 community colleges, and six technical colleges. Beyond governance, the Board administers a range of statewide programs, including student financial aid, adult education, GED, and career and technical education, as well as retirement plans for university employees. It also approves private proprietary schools and out-of-state institutions that operate in Kansas and manages the Kan-ed network, which provides broadband and distance-learning capabilities for schools, hospitals, and libraries.
Headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, the Board's remit spans public higher education across the state, aligning institutional activities with statewide priorities. Its functions touch campuses and related institutions through oversight, program administration, and access infrastructure like Kan-ed, which supports education delivery for schools, hospitals, and libraries.
