August

The
Regent Candidate Advisory Council was established by an act of the Legislature
of the State of Minnesota in 1988 (Minnesota
Statute 137.0245) to advise the legislature in the election of regents of
the University of Minnesota. Its duties are to develop a description of
the duties of regents, outline criteria to be applied in recommending
candidates, and recruit, screen and recommend at least two, and not more than
four, qualified candidates to the joint legislative committee for each opening on the University
of Minnesota Board of Regents. The council consists of twenty-four
members appointed to staggered six-year terms.
The twelve-member Board of Regents is
the governing body of the University of Minnesota. The legislature elects one
regent from each of Minnesota's eight congressional districts and four from the
state at large (Minnesota
Statute 137.0246). One of the four at-large regents must be a University student at
the time of election. Regents serve without pay for six-year terms. Terms are
staggered, with one-third of the board up for election every two years.
