    Chair Stevens called for discussion.

    During discussion, Regents asked about college enrollments in conjunction with how faculty and staff are paid based on tuition revenue. Ms. Kalkidan shared that compensation is not based on college enrollment per institution nor how much tuition that institution collects.
