Chapter 1 - Mission, Vision, General Organization, and Governance Chapter 1. Mission, Vision, General Organization, and Governance 1.4 University Governance At Michigan Technological University, the faculty and the administration participate cooperatively in developing policies for academic governance.
Governance is a product of trust and shared responsibility.
The President is selected by the Board of Control, which is appointed by the governor of the State of Michigan. The Board of Control is charged with legal oversight of the University. The faculty participates through the University Senate and departmental, school, college, and University level committees. The University Senate consists of representatives elected from academic departments and other campus units. If the Senate and the administration disagree on academic policy, the Senate may appeal to the Board of Control.
