The 12-member Board of Regents governs the University. The legislature chooses one regent from each of Minnesota's eight congressional districts and four from the state at large. One at-large regent must be a University student at the time of election.
Regents serve without pay for six-year terms.
The president of the University is ex officio president of the Board of Regents. Here are current regents and the years their terms expire. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
