Control and Management

The control and management of the University is vested in a Board of Trustees selected from the community, the United Methodist Church, the alumni, and at-large representation from the state and nation. In addition, there are three ex-officio members of the Board: the resident United Methodist bishop of the area, the president of the University, and the president of the Alumni Association. Board members are elected for terms of four years on a rotating basis, so that the terms of approximately one-fourth of the members expire each year.
