The Legislature, in Chapters 109, 110, and in Section 51.352, Texas Education Code, has delegated to the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System the power and authority to govern, control and direct the policies of the Texas Tech University System.
The board is composed of nine members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate for staggered terms of six years each, the term of three members expiring on January 31 of odd-numbered years.
For more than 75 years, the institutions of the Texas Tech University System have served as a beacon of excellence in education and research on the South Plains and beyond. Throughout its history, the Board of Regents has been composed of distinguished and dedicated Texans who have been strong advocates of excellence in academic and patient care programs, meaningful scientific research and responsible public service.
From here, it's possible.

At any time during a board meeting, the chair or not less than six members may by vote to appoint special committees, name the members and designate the chair. Any special committee so created is temporary (except the Investment Advisory Committee) and is charged in writing as to its particular duties and functions and the period in which it is to serve (action by the chair or six members is required to extend this period).
Investment Advisory Committee
The Investment Advisory Committee, a special committee of indefinite duration,
is composed of three members appointed by the Board of Regents of the University
System; one member by the Foundation Board; and five members by the Chancellor
of the University System. Of those five members, two are recommended by the
Board of Directors of the Foundation, subject to approval by the Chancellor
and Board of Regents. The committee chair is appointed by the Board of Regents.
The Investment Advisory Committee meets quarterly to review and consult with
investment counsel, investment managers and appropriate officers and staff
of the TTU system administration.
