The Ohio Board of Regents is a nine-member coordinating board with two ex-officio representatives from the State Legislature created in 1963 by the General Assembly to:
provide higher education policy advice to the Governor and General Assembly;
develop a strategy involving Ohio's public and independent colleges and universities;
advocate for and manage state funds for public colleges; and
coordinate and implement state higher education policies.
The nine Regents are not compensated and are appointed by the Governor to nine-year terms of service.
The Regents appoint a Chancellor who leads a professional staff in service of higher education.
The Regents have a direct, non-governing relationship with all of Ohio's colleges and universities. Working in partnership with Ohio's higher education community, the Regents:
Advocate for and recommend how to best direct the state's current $2.6 billion investment in higher education;
Work with the State Board of Education through the Joint Council to develop a seamless primary, secondary and higher education system to prepare citizens for the challenges of the 21st century;
Authorize and approve new degree programs;
Manage state-funded financial aid programs for students;
Develop and advocate policies to maximize higher education's contributions to the State and its citizens.
