Board of Trustees, University of Pittsburgh
The Board of Trustees is responsible for advancing the purposes of the University; promoting and protecting its independence, academic freedom, and integrity; and enhancing and preserving its assets for the benefit of future students and society at large. In addition, because the University of Pittsburgh is a state-related institution, the trustees ensure that Pitt meets its obligations both to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and to society generally.
General administrative, academic, and management authority is delegated to the chancellor. However, the board retains ultimate responsibility for all University affairs.
There are three or more regular meetings of the Board of Trustees each year, including an annual meeting. Special meetings also may be called. Much of the board’s work is carried out by committees; many of these committees include faculty, staff, and students as non-voting representatives.
