B. MEANS OF CONTROL


The Board exercises ultimate control over the future of the College. It reserves to itself final decision-making authority over the kind of institution the College will be and the means by which it will achieve its mission, vision and goals.


1. Control by Objectives

The Board of Trustees reserves to itself the final approval of the College’s long-range objectives, as well as the policies that control the achievement of the objectives. This does not mean the Administration cannot consider these matters and make recommendations on them; however, ultimate control rests with the Trustees.


The objectives include a specific and detailed statement on the role of the College, its long-range mission, and its vision and near-term goals. The College’s mission and vision statements should be complemented by written objectives for each of the academic colleges, the library, and all other academic and administrative units that fit within the framework of the overall College objectives..


2. Control by Key Appointment

The Board of Trustees elects the President of the College to serve at its pleasure. The President is encouraged to consult with the Board on the appointment and dismissal of officers of the College who report directly to the President, college deans and any employee with a multi-year employment contract. When a vacancy occurs in any of the aforesaid positions, the President should consult with the Chair of the Board to determine whether there should be Trustee representation on the search committee for the position. If the Chair deems such representation desirable, the Chair shall appoint such Trustee or Trustees as he or she deems appropriate.


3. Control by Ownership

The Board of Trustees exercises another basic control by retaining title to the capital assets of the College. It is, therefore, the only authority that can dispose of the College’s assets, make fundamental changes in them or pledge them as security in a transaction. The Board has delegated certain, specific authority to the President, as set forth in this Policy Manual. The Trustees will work diligently to maintain the integrity of the College.


4. Control by Overseer Evaluation

The Board of Trustees also acts as a board of overseers of the College. Exercise of this function enables it to evaluate the College’s development. As overseers, the Board’s committees shall periodically review and evaluate the major divisions of the College that are headed by a Vice President. The schedule of the reviews shall be the responsibility of the Chair of the Board. The basic purpose of the periodic appraisal is to make a formal review of how realistic the unit’s long-range objectives are, how well they are being achieved, the effectiveness of policy control over the unit and the extent to which it is achieving the time schedule set for its goals. Following the review, the Trustees will meet with the President, the Vice Presidents and other representatives of the units reviewed to discuss their findings and conclusions.


C. POLICY CONTROL


The Board of Trustees is responsible for governance of the College, which it can effectively perform only by policy control.

The Board of Trustees works with the President on specific and detailed plans designed to achieve the primary objectives and goals set by the Board. It is the basic responsibility of the Trustees to see that these plans specify clear objectives and goals and are in effect for all elements of the College. The Trustees should ensure that these plans are feasible, that they are properly executed, that they enable the institution to manage risks and that they furnish guidelines for the development of all aspects of the College. The Trustees should have a consistent method for evaluating the effectiveness of College planning efforts. It is through insistence on good planning that the Trustees make their most significant contribution to the College.


1. Financial Administration

The Board of Trustees plays an important role in financial administration. It operates under restrictions and requirements contained in state and federal legislation; it operates within its own broad policy guidelines; it controls expenditures within approved limits; and it develops the resources to carry out the basic plans it has considered and approved. The Board of Trustees also approves the annual budget.


2. Administrative Control

The Board of Trustees relies primarily on its policy pronouncements to guide the Administration in operational matters. However, it also considers and approves a plan that the President proposes to use in accomplishing College objectives for the coming year. In addition, it exercises administrative control by review and approval of plans and by evaluating results achieved.


3. Evaluation of Achievement

The evaluation role of the Board of Trustees is to see that its policies are valid and that they are being followed. The Board should also evaluate how well the President is meeting the goals and objectives that have been set for the College.


4. Fund-raising and Investment

The Board of Trustees should maintain a strong commitment to the acquisition of resources for the College. The Board should establish policies to foster fundraising and investment programs for the benefit of the College, consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
