S.D. Codified Laws § 13-49-14.11

There is hereby created within the Board of Regents the FTE demand pool. For the purposes of this section, "FTE" means full-time equivalent as defined in subdivision 2-14-2(12). The initial balance of the FTE demand pool shall be established by the Legislature and may be replenished each year through the general appropriations act. Subject to the approval of the board, the universities may draw upon the pool for FTEs necessary to staff nonstate funded programs. The board shall administer the pool in such a way that any unfunded FTEs are returned to the pool so as to be available to be drawn for other programs.
