How is the A&M System governed?
The A&M System is governed by a nine-member Board of Regents, who are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Texas Senate for six-year terms. A non-voting student member was added in 2006. The A&M System chancellor oversees the day-to-day administration, and each of the A&M System’s 17 members has a president, CEO or director. Each university is independent; only Texas A&M at Galveston and Texas A&M at Qatar are branch campuses of the oldest and largest member of the System, Texas A&M.
