Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees has the ultimate legal responsibility for the University. The Board has responsibility for overseeing and evaluating the operation of Wilkes and is especially responsible for the fiscal affairs, the quality of academic programs, and the physical plant. So that the Board of Trustees might have a closer involvement with the functioning of the University and, specifically student life, a committee of the Board (Academic and Student Environment Committee) meets quarterly with students and administrative officials. At such meetings, students have a voice, but no vote.
