The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia serves as the central governing authority for the state's public higher education system, a structure created in 1931 to unify Georgia’s colleges and universities under one leadership. The governor appoints regents for seven-year terms, and the board is composed of 19 members representing statewide and district constituencies. The board elects a chancellor who acts as the system’s chief executive and administrative head, and the University System of Georgia includes 25 higher education institutions as well as the Georgia Public Library System and the Georgia Archives. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the organization operates as a mid-sized public governance entity overseeing public higher education across the state's 159 counties. Its responsibilities encompass coordinating policy and administration for the universities as well as related public information networks, including libraries and archives. A notable development in 2026 was the retirement of Chancellor Sonny Perdue in April after more than four decades in public service.
