Oklahoma ends college student advisory board
The law abolishes the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education student advisory board and its duties. This removes a formal channel for student advice to the Regents. The law lists July 1, 2025, as its effective date. Its emergency clause also states that it takes effect upon passage and approval. The law specifies no changes to tuition, financial aid, or other student benefits.
