The Utah State Board of Regents was formed in 1969 as a governing body for the Utah System of Higher Education. The Board consists of eighteen residents of the State; fifteen regents and one student regent are appointed by the Governor of Utah and two members of the State Board of Education, appointed by the chair of that board, serve as nonvoting members. The Board oversees the establishment of policies and procedures, executive appointments, master planning, budget and finance, proposals for legislation, develops governmental relationships, and performs administrative unit and program approval for higher education for the State of Utah.
