Voters rejected the ballot question — which would have removed state constitutional references to the elected board overseeing the state’s colleges and universities and required regular independent audits — by nearly 10 percentage points (or more than 123,000 votes out of more than 1.3 million cast). A similar measure failed on the 2020 ballot by a much narrower margin.

The scope of SB448 was massive.
