University of California Board of Regents

The University of California Board of Regents is the governing body responsible for overseeing the UC system, which includes ten campuses, such as UCLA and UC Berkeley. The Regents set policies, approve budgets, and make major decisions to ensure the university provides quality education, research, and public service. Comprising 24 members—some appointed by the governor and others elected by alumni—they act as stewards of the university's mission, financial health, and strategic direction, balancing the needs of students, faculty, staff, and the public.
