The members shall consist of the senior administrator and a minimum of four faculty members who shall staggered terms lasting at least two years. Students and staff may serve, as appropriate.
The Board Chair shall be the senior administrator. The Vice Chair shall be a faculty member who is elected by the board at the end of his/her first year of service. The Board shall be staffed by the office of the senior administrator.
An Executive Committee, consisting of at least the Chair and
Vice Chair, shall set the agenda for Board meetings. The Board shall meet at
least once per semester.
The Board shall report annually in writing to the Faculty. The report is to be given by the Vice Chair or, in his/her absence, by the Chair.
Faculty members are either appointed by the senior administrator with advice from the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) or are nominated by the FEC in consultation with the senior administrator and elected by the Faculty, either at a Faculty meeting or by mail ballot.
