Everything about Board Of Governors totally explained
A
board of governors is usually the
governing board of a public entity.
Many public services, such as universities or federal independent agencies are created as corporations owned by ernment. The
British Broadcasting Corporation was managed by a board of governors, though this role has now been taken by the
BBC Trust. In other cases, government services are provided by "independent establishments," which provide an environment mixing a corporation and a government agency. These, such as the
United States Postal Service, are governed by a board of governors. A more well known example is the
Federal Reserve System, which is also partially governed by a board of governors.
United States universities
In the
United States, public universities often have a similar government known as a
board of regents. However, in
West Virginia, all
public colleges and
universities are governed by 12-member
boards of governors. The members of the boards of governors in
West Virginia are appointed by the
governor of the
state. The boards consist of 9
lay members and a representative from the
faculty,
classified staff, and
students. Several
Virginia institutions such as the
University of Virginia (and the colleges that were spun off it like
University of Mary Washington),
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (and colleges spun off it like
Radford University), and the
College of William and Mary, are each governed by a
Board of Visitors. (This naming is unusual in the USA; many institutions have a
Board of Visitors, but this normally acts in an advisory capacity rather than a governing one, and reports to a separate governing board.)
In New York State, the Board of Regents of the
University of the State of New York oversees public education, including
SUNY, affiliated
community colleges, and the entire public school system via the
Regents Examinations. High school graduates may receive Regents Scholarships to defray expenses at NY universities.
Some private corporations, typically nonprofit corporations, style their governing boards as boards of governors.
