The Minnesota Legislature has selected an insurance agency owner to serve on the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents.
Thomas Devine was elected a regent during a recent joint House-Senate convention.
He replaces Steve Sviggum, who resigned his seat on the board when concerns were raised about his full-time job conflicting with the appointed role. Sviggum, a former state lawmaker, is chief spokesman for the Minnesota Senate Republican caucus.
The 12-member board sets policy and budgets for the four-campus university. Members are not paid.
Devine lives in Chanhassen. He co-owns the David Agency in Edina and is a university graduate.
