educational  policies,  and, except, as to the judicial functions of the

late  the  entire course of religious, doctrinal or theological instruc-
tion 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shall be amended, suspended or repealed by  a  smaller  vote  than  that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  educa-
tion]  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.
