The Morehead State University Board of Regents held its audit and quarterly meetings on Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021, in the Adron Doran University Center.  

The regents ratified the Fall 2021 graduates, personnel actions and reaffirmed and renewed a University regulation. 

They voted to accept the 2020-21 audit report and the University’s first quarter financial report and ratified the amended operating budget. The board also ratified the University’s 2022-24 Biennial Budget Request for the Kentucky General Assembly and voted to approve the extension of the University Strategic Plan to 2025. 
 
The regents heard reports on the University’s financials and personal service contracts from Vice President for Fiscal Services Mary Fister-Tucker, as well as the president’s report from MSU President Dr. Jay Morgan.
