The University of Minnesota Board of Regents approved the minutes and the consent report, which includes gifts, the All University Honors Committee report, and the naming committee report. A motion was made and the chair called the question; the board recorded ayes and the motion passed.

Consultative bodies used the meeting to press governance and workforce concerns. Perry Leo, chair of the Senate Consultative Committee and Faculty Consultative Committee, said faculty worry about trust and shared governance, citing the board’s March 2025 resolution about unit statements as a blow to trust and a point of contention for faculty academic freedom. "The board resolution was a blow to trust from shared governance given the work of the academic freedom and tenure committees and the task force," Leo said.

Rosemary Burns Velez (civil service) described efforts to rebuild civil service representation after attrition and outlined priorities including recruitment, leadership succession, and rule changes tied to the Minnesota Family Leave law. Tony Apps, chair of the Professional and Administrative (P&A) Consultative Committee, said P&A employees continue to hear concerns about funding, career pathways and rising costs; he urged leaders to consider equity in return-to-campus policies.

Student Senate Chair Dominic Scovola said the student senate is reorganizing internally, proposing a bill to convert persistently vacant campus- or college-specific seats into at-large seats to ensure full representation, and continuing student engagement and wellness priorities.

Regents thanked consultative leaders for their work; no formal board action was taken on consultative recommendations during the meeting.
