All members of the Board of Regents shall be residents of the Philippines. No person in the employ of the University or in other educational institution in any capacity whatsoever, whether as dean, professor, instructor, lecturer, or otherwise, shall be eligible for membership in the board. Members shall serve without compensation, but they shall be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred either in attendance upon meetings of the Board or upon other official business authorized by resolution of the board.
