Board of Trustees (BOTs)
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, with Division operations performed by members of the Executive Council.
