Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The board will govern with a style that
			 emphasizes outward vision rather than an internal preoccupation, encouragement
			 of diversity in viewpoints, strategic leadership rather than administrative
			 detail, clear distinction of board and presidential roles, collective rather
			 than individual decisions, future rather than past or present, and proactivity
			 rather than reactivity.
(B) More
			 specifically, the board will:
(1) Operate in
			 all ways mindful of its trusteeship obligation to the public. It will allow no
			 officer, individual, trustee or committee of the board to prevent its
			 fulfilling this commitment.
(2)
			 Discipline is needed to govern with excellence. Discipline will apply to
			 matters such as attendance, policy- making
			 principles, respect of roles, speaking with one voice, and ensuring the
			 continuity of governance capability. The board, not the staff, will be
			 responsible for excellence in governance.
(3) Direct, control and inspire the
			 organization through the careful establishment of the broadest organizational
			 policies reflecting the board's values and perspectives. The board's major
			 focus will be on the intended long-term impact outside the operating
			 organization ("Ends"), not on the administrative or programmatic means of
			 attaining those effects ("Means").
(4) Cultivate a sense of group
			 responsibility. The board will be an initiator of policy, not merely a reactor
			 to staff initiatives. The board will use the expertise of individual trustees
			 to enhance the work of the board as a body, rather than to substitute their
			 individual judgments for those of the board as a whole.
(5) Monitor and discuss the board's process
			 and performance regularly. Self-monitoring will include comparison of board
			 activity and discipline to policies in the governance process and board-staff
			 relationship categories. Continual development will include orientation of new
			 members in the board's governance process and periodic board discussion of
			 process improvement.
(6) Seek
			 input from various sources including faculty, staff, students, alumni,
			 employers, and other community members on board policies on "Ends."
(7) Make decisions, to the extent possible,
			 on a consensus basis.

			 board's job and so as never to interfere with delegation of authority from the
			 board to the president. Committees will be used sparingly.
(B)
								Board committees
			 are to help the board do its job, not to help the staff do its jobs. Committees
			 ordinarily will assist the board by preparing policy alternatives and
			 implications for board deliberation. board committees are not to be created by
			 the board to advise staff

			 except when formally given such authority for specific and time-limited
			 purposes. Expectations and authority will be carefully stated in order not to
			 conflict with authority delegated to the president.

			 cannot exercise authority over staff Because the president works for the full
			 board. the president is not required to obtain approval of a board committee
			 before an executive action. In keeping with the board's broader focus, board
			 committees will normally not have direct dealings with current staff
			 operations.
(E)
								This policy applies only to committees which are formed
			 by board action, whether or not the committees include non-board members. It
			 does not apply to committees formed under the authority of the
			 President.

			 committees.
(G)

			 establish ad-hoc committees when appropriate.
