Pay for Regents' outside training

Beginning January 1, 2026, Regents are paid for training done outside Board meetings. For every 3 hours of outside training, pay equals the salary for attending one Board meeting. Pay is capped at 18 hours of training per calendar year (up to six meeting salaries).

Required training and public notice for Regents

Beginning January 1, 2026, each Nevada Regent must complete at least 6 hours of training in the first and third year of each term. Each required year must include the Open Meeting Law and eliminating bias and discrimination in higher education. Other listed topics may include public records, campus safety, ethics rules, higher‑education laws and duties, finance and audits, accreditation, fiduciary duties, employment and contracts, meeting procedures, academic freedom and shared governance, and executive searches. The Board Secretary helps members complete the training and can bring in experts from the System or other state or local agencies. After finishing, a Regent must give proof of completion to the Secretary. If a Regent does not finish or does not provide proof, the Secretary posts a noncompliance notice on the Board’s website and notifies the other Regents in writing.
