[Alumni-chat] Fwd: Board Rights vs. Alumni Rights: Inside Higher Education today

[Laura Fathauer]

Even more insteresting are the comments re: roles of
trustees:

1-Trustees have a legal obligation to an “undivided
duty of loyalty,” meaning that they don’t represent
only a subset of alumni or a certain constituency or
interest group; they must act in the interests of the
institution as a whole. “The rule of thumb for a board
is they need to take a strategic look at an
institution and be balanced and sensitive to the needs
of all constituents, but not having to address special
interests within the boardroom,” said Richard D.
Legon, the president of the Association of Governing
Boards of Universities and Colleges. 


2-Trustees shouldn’t involve themselves in curricular
or academic issues
