In the United States, boards of regents often govern public institutions of higher education (which include both state universities and community colleges). In each U.S. state, such boards may govern either the state university system, individual colleges and universities, or both. Boards vary by formal name, size, powers, and membership. In some states, members are appointed by the governor.
