Leadership

The University of Minnesota is governed by a 12-member Board of Regents, with all Regents being elected to six-year terms by the Minnesota State Legislature. The Twin Cities campus is led by the president, and all of the campuses fall under the leadership of the president of the University of Minnesota, who also acts as the ex-officio, non-voting president of the Board of Regents. Crookston, Duluth, Morris and Rochester are each led by a chancellor. The University executive vice president and provost serves as chief academic officer for the system and is provost of the Twin Cities campus.
