The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas (U of A) is the main governing body of UAMS. The board is composed of 10 trustees representing each of the state’s four congressional districts. Appointed by and responsible to the Board of Trustees, the U of A president manages the offices and executes the policies of the U of A system. Each U of A campus has a chancellor, who reports directly to the president and oversees a cabinet of executive leadership. The Board of Trustees meets at five regular meetings each year, as well as on special occasions as required. Locations of the regular meetings are rotated among campuses and institutes.
The Board of Trustees Policies are established by the Board of Trustees of the U of A and are applicable to the campuses, divisions, and units of the U of A system. (https://uasys.edu/policies/board-policies/)
U of A Systemwide Policies and Procedures are instituted by the U of A president’s office to provide guidance and direction to campuses regarding certain administrative subjects. This includes guidance related to existing Board of Trustees Policies and other guidance that cannot be appropriately addressed in Board policy.
