Since 2010, the state has been under Republican control — and the current board largely reflects that political background, with 28 registered Republicans and no Democrats serving. More than 90 percent of current board members are white — a statistic that has faced some backlash in a state university system where six campuses are historically minority institutions. Still, when lawmakers named new nominees who could serve on the board starting this summer, more than half a dozen were black.
