Board of Trustees
The government of the university is vested in a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, whose regular members serve a four-year term and are eligible for re-election. One additional member represents the alumni council and serves a four-year term and is also eligible for re-election. The Board meets three times a year–in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Administration of the university is by the president, the cabinet, and by the faculty.
