University Governance
Huntington University is governed by a
self-perpetuating, thirty-three member Board of Trustees. Eight
of its members serve through appointment to the Higher Education Leadership Team
of the Church of the United Brethren in
Christ. Three board members serve ex-officio:
the presidents of the Huntington University
Foundation, the Alumni Association, and the Student Senate. Except for the latter, trustee members are
elected for terms of four years.
Those elected as Trustees are expected to (i) possess
a genuine and personal relationship with Jesus Christ as evidenced by a
vital witness and spiritual maturity, (ii) have an evangelical commitment,
(iii) actively participate in a local church congregation, and (iv)
subscribe to the University’s Statement of Faith.
All trustees shall (i) acknowledge and
evidence a commitment to the mission and heritage of the University, (ii)
demonstrate integrity and maturity, (iii) willingly support the University
and influence others to do so, (iv) have a primary commitment to the
University with respect to service as a trustee, (v) willingly carry out
trustee duties in a manner that avoids all possible conflicts of interest,
(vi) be persons of high and recognized character, and (vii) be committed to
Christian higher education.
