The Kansas Board of Regents plans to ask state lawmakers and the governor next month for permission to oversee changing state university admissions standards.

A 16-member task force determined that the Regents should assume responsibility for determining the high school ranking, grade-point average and standardized test scores required to get into one of the six schools.

Board members say they would likely keep the current admission standards as a baseline and wouldn’t implement the changes before 2014, giving high school students plenty of time to adjust.

Some members foresee each school having slightly different requirements, reflecting the school’s primary academic mission.
