Regents

Academic governing body

Regents are people who govern or administer, typically in an official capacity.

A regent rules on behalf of a monarch who is absent, underage, or incapacitated.

In education, regents often serve on governing boards: The Board of Regents approved the new curriculum.

Regents exams are standardized tests administered in New York State schools.
