Board of regents

A Board of Regents is a governing body responsible for overseeing a university system or group of educational institutions. They set policies, approve budgets, and make high-level decisions to ensure the institutions fulfill their educational missions. Members are usually appointed or elected and serve to provide strategic direction, accountability, and oversight. In essence, they act as stewards, ensuring the institutions operate effectively, responsibly, and in alignment with the broader goals of higher education and public service.
