THE GOVERNING BOARD AND THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT

1. The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the legal governing body and the chartered legal entity for McCall College. As such, it has final institutional authority and grants all degrees awarded by the institution upon the recommendation of the faculty. The Board of Directors’ primary responsibility is to review the general educational policies and academic goals of the College. In so doing, the board will oversee the College’s financial resources with concern for future needs and care that the finest traditions of higher education may serve both as a guide and an inspiration for future developments.

While maintaining a general overview, the board entrusts the conduct of administration to the President and, through the President, to other administrative officers of the institution. The board entrusts to the faculty the conduct of teaching and research. Upon appeal, the board will review and defend the President, members of the faculty, or members of the student body when and if attacks on academic freedom are lodged. The Board of Directors manages and administers the College within defined policy limits. The board will elect the President of the College. The Academic Dean is an ex-officio, non-voting member of the Board of Directors and represents the faculty at the Board’s regular meetings.

2. The College President

The President is the chief administrative officer of the College and the official channel of communication between students, faculty and administration on the one hand and the Board of Directors and the general constituencies on the other. The President is directly responsible to the Board of Directors.
