The Trustee Nominating Committee of the Florida Board of Governors has released a statement saying that they are on the lookout for an appointment to the Board of Trustees for the University.
The Board of Governors is the body in charge of defining the missions of the individual institutions as well as ensuring the coordination and operation of the system.
The BOG does this in part by appointing members to individual Board of Trustees to run the universities, as does the Governor of Florida.
The Florida university system serves more than 320,000 students which makes it the fourth largest public university system in the nation.
The BOT of the universities in the system are responsible for creating processes for the University to adhere to state policy, budgeting and education standards.
Each of the 11 state universities has a BOT made up of 13 members who are responsible for cost-effective policy and maintaining high quality education programs within the system.
The term of services for the individual who takes up the position will last through Jan. 6 2015.
“The Board of Governors is looking for individuals to serve as university trustees who are interested in higher education and interested in taking our universities to a level of excellence that helps both the institution and the goals of the State University System,” said Morteza “Mori” Hosseini of Daytona Beach, chair of the Trustee Nominating Committee of the Florida Board of Governors in a news brief.
The application for the position is available online, and must be completed by all those interested in filling the vacancy. Applicants can find the paperwork on http://www.flbog.edu/aboutsus/ubt.php, and should be mailed upon completion to Tallahassee for processing.
The deadline for the applications to be completed is March 1. Any questions related to the appointment may be addressed to the BOG.
