SD Board Of Regents Executive Director Announces Retirement

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The executive director and CEO of the South Dakota Board of Regents is retiring at the end of the year.

Jack R. Warner is in his sixth year as head of the system. He’s leaving at a time when enrollment at the state’s public universities is at an all-time high.

Warner is a Massachusetts native who holds degrees from Boston College, Springfield College and the University of Vermont. He came to South Dakota in 2009 after serving as higher education commissioner in Rhode Island for seven years.

Warner will have the second longest tenure as executive director of the system.

Board president Dean Krogman says Warner has done “extraordinary work” for higher education in South Dakota.
