Please note that it will be necessary for the schedule for the March 19-20, 2009 Board of Regents meeting to be flexible to allow the Montana University System to accommodate and be responsive to the legislative schedule that will be occurring at the same time. It will most likely be necessary to exchange the times of the Budget Administrative and Audit Committee with the Academic and Student Affairs. Other changes may be necessary throughout the meeting.
