Higher education in Arizona is governed at the university level by the Arizona Board of Regents, a 12-member body. Eight volunteer members are appointed by the Governor to staggered eight-year terms; two students serve on the Board for two-year appointments, with the first year being a nonvoting apprentice year.
The Governor and the Superintendent of Public Instruction serve as voting ex-officio members. The ABOR provides "policy guidance" and oversight to the three major degree-granting universities.

In 2005, a School District Redistricting Commission was established with the goal of combining and consolidating many of these districts.
