Board of Trustees: Roles and Responsibilities

FUE’s board of trustees (BOT) is responsible for advancing the mission of the university, promoting and protecting its independence, academic freedom, and integrity as well as enhancing and preserving its assets for future generations. In short, the BOT is the steward of FUE and is responsible for assuring all stakeholders that the education offered by FUE is of the highest quality. Ensuring academic quality is fundamental to demonstrating institutional success, and the board is accountable for that assurance . The board’s responsibilities are guided by the following principles :

- The board is responsible for the strategic direction of the university and insists on comprehensive, integrated institutional planning. The Board has ultimate responsibility and full authority to determine the mission of the university.

- The board is responsible for ensuring that policies and practices are in place and implemented to promote educational quality. Together with the chair advisors, the president, and the deans, the board ensures that practices for defining and assessing quality are current and used for continuous improvement. The board receives annual reports from the president on these policies , their results, and any changes needed.

-The board is responsible for approving and assuring that financial resources are committed to a high-quality educational experience. The board ensures that the university’s programs and resources are focused on the educational experience as a whole , not just traditional classroom activity.

-The board is responsible for the annual assessment of the president’s performance. Assessment of the performance will be measured against progress toward institutional goals and objectives.

Membership of the board of trustees requires good judgment in avoiding micro-management while remaining sufficiently informed to assess professional performance and institutional effectiveness. It calls for listening and questioning more than pronouncing or demanding. It requires a commitment to the institution as a whole rather than to any of its parts.

Board of Trustees Chair Advisors: Roles and Responsibilities

Reporting directly to the chairman of the board of trustees are the Advisor for Quality Assurance and Academic Affairs and the Advisor for Graduate Education, Research and International Affairs. Together, the two advisors are responsible for ensuring academic integrity and quality. Through their combined efforts together with the efforts of the faculties, FUE seeks to improve undergraduate education, develop graduate degree programs, and enhance FUE’s research productivity. Critical to the achievement of those goals is the fostering and facilitation of international collaborations and partnerships. The Office of International Affairs serves as an important vehicle through which international activities are coordinated, implemented, and fostered.

As the advisors to the chair, they provide counsel on academic and personnel matters including new programs, faculty and administrative appointments, international protocols and initiatives, quality control measures, performance evaluations of university officers and deans as well as on general issues affecting the well-being and integrity of the university.
