VERMILLION, S.D.(WNAX)- Many building projects are underway or planned at the six state universities in South Dakota.

Board of Regents President Pam Roberts says inflation is striking many of those projects.

Roberts says they have had to cut back on some of the construction.

The Regents met at USD in Vermillion last week and had some preliminary budget talks.

Roberts says the goal is to get back to a more predictable cycle.

Roberts says they will have their budget request finalized later this fall.
