Represented on the 14-member commission are the Board of Regents, the Department of Education, Iowa independent colleges and universities, Iowa community colleges, each house of the General Assembly, Iowa lending institutions, Iowa students, student loan borrowers, and the general public. The lender, student, general public, and independent college, community college, and borrower representatives are appointed by the Governor. The director of the Department of Education serves by virtue of of- fice. The remaining four members are appointed by the bodies they represent.
