HIGHER EDUCATION: Provides requirements for public postsecondary education management boards relative to core curricula, hiring and employment, faculty deliberative bodies, and nonacademic disciplinary proceedings and prohibits institutions from expending certain funds under certain circumstances (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This bill establishes new governance requirements for Louisiana's public postsecondary education institutions, affecting university management boards and their oversight of core curricula, faculty hiring, and disciplinary processes. It mandates that management boards annually review core curriculum courses to ensure they meet specific criteria related to foundational knowledge and civic preparation, while also requiring public posting of job postings and resumes for tenure-track and leadership positions at least 30 days before board meetings. Additionally, the legislation limits the role of faculty deliberative bodies to advisory functions only, restricts their membership to tenured full professors, and prohibits using state funds to support administrative staff dedicated exclusively to these bodies. The bill also includes provisions that prevent institutions from expending certain funds unless specific conditions are met, with full implementation required by the 2027-2028 academic year.
