Overview
The University and Community Colleges System of Nevada (UCCSN) Board of Regents (BOR) is the governing board for public higher education in the State of Nevada. The scope of authority of the governing board in relationship to the institutions of higher education is proscribed in the UCCSN Board of Regents’ Handbook (Exhibit 6.1). The Handbook contains the Regents’ bylaws, university and community college code, legal status of the system, policy codification, and governing documents that include bylaws for the campus faculty, administration, and students. All bylaws are reviewed and approved by the Board of Regents. (Great Basin College maintains a Policy and Procedures Guide see Exhibit 6.2.)
