Board of Regents

University of Idaho is governed by a Board of Regents of the University of Idaho. The same people who make up the Board of Regents also make up the Idaho State Board of Education, which has governing authority over Idaho’s other public educational institutions. The group as a whole is often referred to as the State Board of Education (SBOE).

Many employees and entities across campus have direct and indirect contact with the Board of Regents and SBOE staff.

Interactions between U of I and the SBOE are coordinated by the President’s Office, as noted on the SBOE and U of I interaction chart.
