Each regent, except the student regent, shall be appointed for a term of six years. The term shall expire on the last day of March or when a successor is appointed and qualified, unless removed as provided in § 3-17-1. No regent appointed after July 1, 2018, and without any previous service on the board, may serve more than two consecutive terms. However, after serving two consecutive terms, a regent may be reappointed after at least two years have passed since the expiration of the regent’s last term. Any partial term to fill a vacancy on the board may not count against the two-term limit.
