Seriously, what do they do?

Good question. The answer is not much of anything. Their main function is they funnel the state budget money to the various university systems. All of the main higher ed budget goes through BOR, who has a funding formula for how the money is divvied up among the systems and campuses.

Aside from that, they do, do some research to help drive higher ed policy.

As for getting involved with the legislature, they certainly have a presence. But I can assure you that the individual systems and campuses are way more effective at lobbying the legislature on their own behalf and hold way more influence than BOR.

Trust me, BOR is a joke to the 4 university systems, whom have no respect for BOR or their role in higher ed. And yes, I know this first hand.
