Board Committees

The responsibilities of the committee are to assist in attaining the goal stated in the university bylaws that requires the “... University to offer undergraduate and graduate education of the highest possible quality...” and “to encourage moving our research and experimentation” and to “diffuse... the knowledge and information.”

The committee's responsibilities include reviewing the financial reporting processes and audits of financial reporting processes and audits of financial statements, the internal audit program and the review and selection of the independent auditors.

The committee’s responsibilities include oversight of the operating and capital budgets of the university, review of policies that have significant financial impact, review of contracts for construction, assurance of debt, management of real estate owned or gifted to the university and any such other matters that the board finds may have financial or budget implications.

The committee’s responsibilities include oversight of all out-of-classroom activities and what is often called the “student experience,” along with student health and wellness.
