Abstract

Abstract This chapter describes Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. This article is probably one of the most important steps this state has taken to improve and better coordinate its public institutions of higher learning. Section 2 states that the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma is responsible for governing the university. The university’s president has only the authority given to him by the Board of Regents and their acts are subject to review by the board. Section 3 allows the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to move money between funds and accounts as it sees fit. Lastly, under Section 4, a private denominational institution awarding academic and professional degrees may be subject to reasonable state regulation without violating the First, Fifth, Ninth, or Fourteenth Amendments. Thus, the secular-type activities of a religious school are subject to nonarbitrary governmental regulation exercised under the policy powers of the state.
