Administration

The University of Minnesota is governed by a Board of Regents whose 12 members are elected by the Minnesota Legislature. Each of the state’s eight congressional districts are represented by a Regent, along with four others who represent the state at large.

The president of the University serves as the chief executive officer of the University and ex officio president of the Board of Regents. With offices in Morrill Hall on the Twin Cities campus, the president is supported by an executive team that includes three senior vice presidents, vice presidents, the general counsel, chancellors of the University’s four coordinate campuses, the director of athletics, and the president of the University of Minnesota Foundation.
