§ 207. Legislative   power.      Subject  and  in  conformity  to  the  constitution  and  laws  of  the  state,  the  regents  shall   exercise  legislative  functions  concerning  the educational system of the state,  determine its educational policies, and,  except,  as  to  the  judicial  functions of the commissioner of education, establish rules for carrying  into  effect  the laws and policies of the state, relating to education,  and the functions, powers, duties and trusts conferred or  charged  upon  the  university  and  the education department.  But no enactment of the  regents shall modify in any degree the freedom of the governing body  of  any  seminary  for the training of priests or clergymen to determine and  regulate the  entire  course  of  religious,  doctrinal  or  theological  instruction to be given in such institution.  No rule by which more than  a  majority  vote  shall  be  required  for  any specified action by the  regents shall be amended, suspended or repealed by a smaller  vote  than  that   required  for  action  thereunder.    Rules  or  regulations,  or  amendments or repeals thereof, adopted or prescribed by the commissioner  of education as provided by law shall not be effective unless and  until  approved  by  the  regents,  except  where authority is conferred by the  regents upon the commissioner of education to adopt, prescribe, amend or  repeal such rules or regulations.
