AI Summary
This resolution directs the legislative auditor to conduct a thorough examination of how state and federal money was spent by the Board of Regents and several university systems and colleges. This audit will specifically focus on funds used to achieve a particular goal outlined in the executive budget: increasing the number of graduates from "underrepresented minority" groups, defined as all races except white, Asian, non-residents, and those with unknown or unreported races, between the academic years 2021-2022 and 2025-2026. The audit will trace and quantify spending on staff, recruitment and retention programs, scholarships, data systems, and any performance-based payments related to this objective, with the findings to be reported to the legislature.
