The 12-member Board of Regents governs the University. The legislature chooses one regent from each of Minnesota's eight congressional districts and four from the state at large. One at-large regent must be a University student at the time of election. Regents serve without pay for six-year terms. The president of the University is ex officio president of the Board of Regents.

Here are current regents and the years their terms expire.
