The University of Alaska is formally established under Article VII of the [[Constitution of Alaska#Article VII: Health.2C Education.2C and Welfare|Alaska State Constitution]]. Article VII also establishes a board of regents, appointed by the [[Governor of Alaska|state's governor]] and confirmed by the [[Alaska State Legislature|state's legislature]], that is tasked with governing the university. All regents serve eight-year terms, except for the student regent, who is nominated by the three main campuses for a two-year term.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Members {{!}} Board of Regents|url = https://www.alaska.edu/bor/members/|website = www.alaska.edu|access-date = 2015-11-10}}</ref> The board selects a university president who oversees the statewide administration. Under the president, responsibility for the three main universities is assigned to their respective chancellors. There is also the Coalition of Student Leaders, a group of representatives from the UA student governments that advocates for student issues.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Coalition of Student Leaders {{!}} System Governance|url = https://www.alaska.edu/governance/student-coalition/|website = www.alaska.edu|access-date = 2015-11-10}}</ref>
