MEET THE BOARD
The Board of Trustees is an independent body, self-perpetuating and self-governing, responsible only to itself, to the laws of North Carolina and of the United States of America, and to the fiscal and academic well-being of the University. The Board operates independent of external influences. The Board of Trustees shall be responsible for the establishment of policy of the University and shall appoint a President as chief executive officer of the University.
