I honestly don't mind the reply to my answer.
But I will agree to disagree with both the asker and every traditional Høgskole in Norway which calls it self a university college.
Just like I disagree with calling a gymnasium a college.

If you are looking for the name of the board of a Norwegian Univ/College, then of course Leif is right: University College Board.
It may sound strange to American, UK and Canadian ears, but it IS the official term used for and by Norskie institutions.

In UH-loven. Act relating to universities and university colleges you will find (statsministerens kontor/regjeringen:
Part III. State universities and university colleges
Chapter 9. The board
Section 9-1. Responsibility for the institution’s activities
(1) The board is the highest governing body of an institution. It is responsible for etc.
maintaining a high standard of academic activity and for ensuring that the institution
is run efficiently and in accordance with the statutes, regulations

I see. My knowledge of these things is obviously rather limited. Let's pretend I never mentioned it. :)

Sorry to contradict, but the boards at U.S. colleges and universities are the top governing authority there in virtually all cases. In Minnesota, they even outrank the state legislature on most matters at the University of Minnesota, thanks to a provision in the state constitution.

Not very helpful, maybe, but the"official" translation from The Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions (Universitets- og Høgskolerådet) is simply "University College Board", as can be seen here: http://termbase.uhr.no/?q="University College"

If I am not mistaken, usually the different boards of colleges in the US are of an advisory nature, while they are an administrative, governing body in Norway.
