Governance

A 20-member Board of Governors is responsible for planning and coordinating development and operation of the State System of Higher Education. The Board establishes broad educational, fiscal, and personnel policy, and oversees the efficient management of the System. Among other tasks, the Board appoints the chancellor and university presidents, approves new academic programs, sets tuition, and coordinates and approves the annual System operating budget.

Board members are appointed to four-year terms by the Governor of Pennsylvania. Their appointments are confirmed by the state Senate. Three students, selected from among the universities' student government association presidents, serve on the Board until graduation. Four legislators are selected by the majority and minority leaders of the state Senate and House of Representatives.

The Governor of Pennsylvania or a designee is also a Board member, as is the state secretary of education. The Board meets at least four times a year. Meetings of the Board of Governors are subject to the Pennsylvania Public Agency Open Meeting Law.
