Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is composed of 41 voting members. The president of the university is an ex officio, nonvoting member. Two faculty and two students are elected by the University Senate as nonvoting representatives. The 41 voting members are chosen in the following way as mandated by state law: 20 charter members (of whom at least three shall be women), 16 alumni members nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees, and five public members appointed by the governor of the state with confirmation by the New Jersey State Senate. Of the 20 charter seats, three are reserved for students with full voting rights.
