VERMILLION, S.D.(WNAX)- During their meeting at USD in Vermillion this week, the South Dakota Board of Regents unanimously approved an expanded alcohol sales policy for public universities. The policy allows the six universities governed by the Board to extend the sale of alcoholic beverages into general admission areas of performing arts and athletic events.

General counsel Nathan Lukkes outlined points of the new policy.

Lukkes says the policy has some specific guidelines.

Regent Jeff Partridge of Rapid City said the policy is a good start.

The new policy will be in effect for the start of the fall term.
