TTT-TTT ITTITT TS TTT HITHTIT The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Edu- cation constitute the coordinating board for the colleges and universities of Oklahoma. Each in- stitution of higher learning has its own governing board. However, such needs and functions as concern all the institutions, including matters of finance and curriculum, are coordinated through the oflices of the State Regents. This agency of the State is a constitutional board created by vote of the people in Amendment Thir- teen-A CXIII-Aj to the Oklahoma Constitution, as adopted April 11, 1941. Appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, each State Regent serves for a term of 9 years, and one of the terms expires each year. According to law, the State Regents shall func- tion as a coordinating board for all member insti- tutions, and shall prescribe standards of higher education applicable to each, and determine the functions and courses of study in each to conform to the standards. The Regents are authorized to grant degrees and other forms of academic recognition, pre- scribe standards of admission, retention and grad- TITTTTTITI uation, recommend to the Legislature proposed fees for the institutions, authorize the use of revolving funds, transfer property from one institution to another, solicit and accept gifts and scholarships for the benefit of higher education and research, and make appropriate reports from time to time to the Governor and the Legislature as to needs, functions and progress. The governing board of each institution contin- ues by law to function as a board of control for the institution concerned, and exercises such duties as: custody of books, records, buildings, and phys- ical properties, supervision, management, control, appointment of employees, faculties, designation of salaries, general government of the institution. The State Regents cooperate with the govern- ing boards of the constituent institutions in The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education, their presidents and administrative officers, in the preparation of budget needs to be presented for the consideration ofthe Legislature. The Regents recommend a consolidated budget to the Legisla- ture. The Legislature decides on the appropria- tions each two years, and the funds are then allo- cated to the respective institutions.
