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.
