The board had postponed the election of officers pending the confirmation of three members of the board. But Senator Linda Lopez, the chairperson of the Senate Rules Committee, indicated the committee has not yet been able to schedule confirmation hearings for Jamie Koch, E.G. (Gene) Gallegos and student regent Emily "Cate" Wisdom.
