University Governance Reform Act modifies state board of regents membership, functions, and accreditation processes.

The University Governance Reform Act changes the composition and functions of the state board of regents. It replaces the student member with a ninth member appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate. The act also adds seven ex officio, nonvoting members, including three students from specific universities. The board must establish committees for budgets, investments, finance, and athletics. It requires the board to review and approve academic programs and general education requirements at institutions with fewer than ten enrolled students.
