The Iowa Board of Regents is the 9-member governing body overseeing the three public universities in the state of Iowa: the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa.
The governor of Iowa appoints regents to six-year terms, which are subject to Iowa Senate confirmation by a two-thirds vote.
Terms begin May 1 and end April 30.
Under state law, one of the regents must be a student of one of the three public universities, and no more than five members can be of the same political affiliation or gender.
