The collection consists of agendas and meeting minutes from the Florida Atlantic University Board of Trustees. The Board is composed of thirteen members: six appointed by the Governor, five by the Florida Board of Governors, and two ex officio members—the Student Body President and the President of the University Faculty Senate. All appointed members require confirmation by the Florida Senate. The records document the Board's responsibilities, including policy decisions appropriate to the university's mission, the implementation and maintenance of high-quality education programs, the measurement of performance, the reporting of information, and the provision of input regarding state policy, budgeting, and education standards.
