Hampshire College

The Board of Trustees is the governing body of Hampshire College; it currently consists of twenty-six members, including the student, staff and faculty trustees.  Half of the trustees are alumni of the college.  The board meets four times a year, on campus except for its annual fall retreat. According to the bylaws of the college, the Board of Trustees "shall have and may exercise all of the powers of members and all of the powers of the Corporation.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board of Trustees shall have all the powers of directors, including general supervision and control over the property and affairs of the Corporation.  The Board of Trustees shall: formulate and oversee the educational and fiscal policy of Hampshire College; elect or appoint all officers of the Corporation, including the President; appoint all other officers of instruction and administration and determine their duties and responsibilities, their tenure, their conditions of employment, and their remuneration;  make and from time to time change rules and regulations to ensure the good government of Hampshire College, including procedures for enforcement and penalties for violation;  fix all tuition and other fees and charges;  and confer all honors and degrees."    

The office of the secretary of the college provides staff support for the Board of Trustees, maintains its records and files, and is the interface between the campus community and the trustees.  Communication to the board or its members should be sent in care of the secretary at the address, telephone/fax numbers, or e-mail listed on this page.
