The legi lator ' e pre sed reason i to have Regent that are more re ponsive to them . There are twelve Univer ity Regents, four being elected each legi lative e sion for ix-year terms . Four are cho en at-large, and eight by congre ional di tric!. Other tate do it differently . In orne, the Governor appoints, often with Alum­ ni A ociation input; in other , the Legislature appoin a we do here; and in other, Regent are elected by direct ballot of the people. All method are pre - ently bemg u ed in Big Ten Un! er itie . At the Univer Ity ' beginnings, the Mirme ota territorial Legi lature elected Regents in a joint convention of both branche of the Legl lature. However, by 1860 the Legi lature had enacted law empowering the Governor to appoint the Regents, by and with the con ent of the Senate. The Chase case of 1928 changed all of that when the State Supreme Court ruled that the power to name the Regents belonged to the Legi lature. A it governing body, the Regents determine the policy of the niver ity and elect the Chancellor as Chief E ecutive and Pre ident of the Board of Regents. The Regents are the final authority for the governance of the institution. On their ability and integrity re ts the pre ent and future development of the niver- ity . The University Regents mu t be above politics, beholden to no group or mdiv­ idual, particularly the Legi lature. They mu t be able, con cientiou and de­ voted. They hould ha e orne under tanding of the meaning of a State University and the "land grant" concept.
