Who is a Student Regent & Designate?
Each year an academically good standing,
registered UC student is selected to serve on the University of
California Board of Regents. All non-student Regents are appointed
by the Governor of the State of California. A Student Regent, however,
is selected through an annual application process and is interviewed
and appointed by the UC Regional Commissions (made up of undergraduate
and graduate study body presidents from each UC campus), UCSA (made
up of at least one voting student representative from each UC campus)
and several members of the Board of Regents in the final interview.
The Student Regent has a two year commitment to serve while registered
at any of the UC's. From the time of appointment, in the first year
of service in July, as a Student Regent, but prior to commencement
of service as a member of the Board, the appointee holds the title
"Regent-designate" and is invited to the Board of Regents
and of its Committees, but without a vote.
During the second year of service, in July of the following year,
the Student Regent is a full voting member of the Board of
Regents of the University of California, attending all meetings
of the Board and its Committees
Duties of the Regent
The Regents establish policy in areas such as personnel, campus
development, student fees, admissions, and financial aid. The duties
of The Regents include overseeing the financial management of the
University, its investment, and its property holdings as well as
appointing the President of the University, the ten campus Chancellors,the
Directors of the major Department of Energy research laboratories,
and the Officers of The Regents.
How is the Student Regent & Designate Compensated?
The Student Regent is reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance
at meetings of the Board and its Committees. All mandatory University
fees, tuition, and parking fees are waived for the Student Regent
during the academic years in which he or she serves as a Regent-designate
and member of the Board.
