Constituent-Elected Trustees
Cornell is one of relatively few institutions of higher education in the nation whose campus community directly elects constituent members to the Board of Trustees, its highest governing body. Students (alternating between undergraduate and a graduate or professional student) are elected to serve two-year terms, while faculty and staff are elected for four-year terms—all as full voting members of the board.
More information is available about the Faculty-Elected Trustee, the election of the Dean of Faculty, and election of faculty representatives to University committees, through the Office of the Dean of Faculty.
