Board Of Regents Names System Director Of Human Resources

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Board of Regents has named a new system director of human resources.

The board announced Wednesday that Kayla Bastian’s appointment is effective this week.

Bastian has served in the Board of Regents’ central office since 2009. She will report to Mike Rush, regents’ executive director and CEO.

Bastian has previously worked as the board’s assistant human resources director.

Rush says she comes to the position with a “strong understanding” of public higher education in the state.

Bastian is replacing Barbara Basel. She resigned to take a job at the Maricopa Community College System in Arizona.
