The University of Texas Board of Regents
The Board of Regents, the governing body for The University of Texas System, is composed of nine members who are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Terms for Regents are scheduled for six years each and staggered so that three members' terms will usually expire on February 1 in odd-numbered years. In addition, the Governor appoints a Student Regent for a one-year term that expires on May 31.
Throughout the more than 100-year history of The U. T. System, the Board has been composed of dedicated and distinguished Texans who have been strong advocates of excellence in academic programs, scientific inquiry, and responsible public service.
Officers:
- Wm. Eugene "Gene" Powell, Chairman
