A retired U.S. magistrate judge and lawyer, Janie Mayeron leads the Board of Regents as members search for the university’s 18th president. Her priorities include affordable tuition, renovating aging buildings, and “securing clinical partnerships that champion medical education, improve patient care, and more fully advance the public health of all Minnesotans.” Three regents on the 12-member board were newly elected in 2023.
