The Governing Body

Colleges and universities are corporations or associations formed for the purpose of providing education and related services. They are governed by board of trustees or regents who are primarily lay persons rather than professional educators or government bureaucrats. These boards hold in trust the physical and financial assets of the institutions over which they have legal control, and they have the power to direct and supervise operations and programs in the best interests of the intended beneficiaries. Theirs, is a fiduciary role, which to hold and control assets and programs ‚in trust, that is for the benefit of other. These beneficiaries are the stakeholders of the institution, who are: the pupils and students; the faculty and staff; the parents; and the community, including the Alumni.

Trustees are policy makers, not managers or administrators. Theirs is to provide direction and supervision, or oversight function.
