How does your school select its Board of Supervisors, Regents, Governors, etc.?

LSU's are appointed by the governor, except for one student president chosen from the system campuses student presidents. How are your institutions' top leaders chosen?

You aren't really expecting other states do it differently, are you?

Earlier this week, Texas' governor appointed 3 Aggys to their Board of Regents:

Auburn's appointees to the Board of Trustees are also appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate:

ETA:
Bama's board self nominates their members but they are subject to confirmation by the State Senate.

The state of Mississippi has one board for all public universities. The governor makes appointments to the board.

The University of Florida has 6 member selected by the Governor and 5 members selected by the Board of Governors (which governors all public universities in Florida and is selected by guess who... the governor!)

Arkansas' Board of Trustees is chosen by the governor. It's a little complicated because the 10 Trustees govern all five UA four-year campuses, the law and medical schools and a bunch of junior colleges, not just the main campus in Fayetteville, so student representation, for instance, is not feasible. And the trustees are required to be spread out across the state geographically, so they don't just load up on people in Fayetteville or Little Rock. The 10 trustees are appointed for 10-year terms, can't serve multiple terms, and it's staggered so one trustee is replaced every year.

Michigan has elected the trustees for their universities since the 1850s.

In the wake of the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal, they are reconsidering the wisdom of letting voters pick the trustees and thinking about giving that power to the governor.

Both the two major universities hate that this is a thing and thinks the board favors the other.

Sounds like it works, then.

For Georgia, there is a Board of Regents that governs all state public universities (so pretty much every school except Mercer and Emory). Each member seat is elected by the governor and is considered to be one of the ultimate plum jobs in state politics (some of our biggest football boosters are or have been BOR members).
