Ballot Question 1, also known as the Nevada Higher Education Reform, Accountability, and Oversight Amendment, will provide accountability and transparency to higher education governance and deliver a system that Nevada’s taxpayers and students deserve. It ensures that the higher education bureaucracy and the Board of Regents are accountable to the people’s branch of government, just like every other taxpayer-funded entity in Nevada. As former state legislators on both sides of the aisle, we had a duty to ensure accountability, transparency, and oversight in Nevada government.

Nevadans have an opportunity to change this status quo. For that reason, we are urging Nevadans to vote “yes” on Ballot Question 1 to bring accountability, transparency, and oversight to the higher education bureaucracy and the Board of Regents.
