The governance, control, jurisdiction, organization, and management of the University of Houston System is vested in its board of regents.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/regents/ |title=UHS - Board of Regents |publisher=University of Houston System |access-date=2008-06-26}}</ref> The board has all the rights, powers, and duties that it has with respect to the organization and control of the four component institutions in the System; however, each component institution is maintained as a separate and distinct university.

The Board consists of a chair, {{nowrap|vice-chair}}, secretary, and seven other members, including one student who serves a one-year term as regent. Every two years, the Governor of Texas, subject to the confirmation of the [[Texas Senate|Texas&nbsp;Senate]], appoints three members to the board of regents. Every member except for the student regent serves a six-year term. Responsibilities for members are specifically listed in the bylaws of the board of regents.

The chairman of the board of regents is [[Tilman J. Fertitta]], CEO of Landry's, Inc.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uhsystem.edu/board-of-regents/board-members/fertitta/index.php#Fertitta |title=Tilman J. Fertitta |publisher=University of Houston System |access-date=October 29, 2015}}</ref> Fertitta attended the [[University of Houston]], and was a student in the [[Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management|Hilton&nbsp;College]]. He was appointed to the board in 2009, and will serve through August 31, 2027—having been reappointed for an additional six-year term. <ref>{{cite web |url= https://uh.edu/news-events/stories/2021/october-2021/10212021-bor-appointments.php |title=Gov.
