A major issue for the South Dakota Board of Regents has been trying to define a role for their facilities in Sioux Falls.
Originally called the University Center, it was then renamed the Community College for Sioux Falls and struggled with enrollment.

Regents Executive Director Brian Maher says they have revised their plans again….

Maher says the school will offer other classes in the Sioux Falls area…..

Maher says the legislature allowed them to change the costs associated with the school….

The campus is now focused on post high school students along with non-traditionals.
