The position of student regent is up for grabs.

The open application for a new student regent for the 2013-2014 school year is under way. The Baylor Board of Regents introduced the position of student regent last year.

The student regent is a non-voting regent who is allowed to be present during non-executive board meetings. Because this position represents the students of Baylor, this regent will have the opportunity to raise thoughts or questions about issues concerning students and the campus, according to the student regent application. The Baylor student body president works with the student government to bring up ideas that will benefit the campus and its students. While the two positions are almost the same, each has a different agenda.

M. Clayton & Associates, a company that has studied colleges and universities across the nation to find institutions committed to helping African-American students graduate, published a new list that named the “88 Best Colleges for African-Americans.” More than 800 schools were judged off of criteria that included a minimum graduation rate of 40 percent for African-American students, an African-American student population of at least 6.5 percent and a high graduation rate for African-Americans based on ACT scores and compared against the company’s determined ACT score for graduation.
