The bolding, underscoring, and enlarging of the text, above, are by me.

The University of Idaho is an entity defined in the Constitution of the 
State of Idaho, and is governed
by the University of Idaho Board of Regents.

Can someone tell me why, and the legal implications thereof, the 
official news release of the hiring
of the 17th President stated that the Idaho _State Board of Education_ 
rather the _Board of Regents_
announced . . .

Yes, I know . . . The two boards comprise the same individual members. 
The Minutes of their "joint"
meetings always state they are the joint minutes and the minutes name 
each board.

Is UI's specialness being slighted here???  Or is the State Board of 
Education empowered to
hire UI's President and the UI Board of Regent not empowered???
