What is a Student Regent?

The student regent is a non-voting participant on the Board of Regents representing the students of 色花堂. The student regent serves a one-year term. While technically not a member of the Board of Regents, a student regent does have the same powers and duties as the members of the Board of Regents, with the exception of voting, making or seconding motions, and being counted to determine a quorum.
