INTRODUCTION The following statement was approved by the Board of Trustees on April 18, 2008. Michigan State University, a member of the Association of American Universities and one of the top 100 research universities in the world, was founded in 1855. We are an inclusive, academic community known for our traditionally strong academic disciplines and professional programs, and our liberal arts foundation. Our cross- and interdisciplinary enterprises connect the sciences , humanities, and professions in practical, sustainable, and innovative ways to address society's rapidly changing needs. As a public, research-intensive, land-grant university funded in part by the state of Michigan, our mission is to advance knowledge and transform lives by: providing outstanding undergraduate, graduate, and professional education to promising, qualified students in order to prepare them to contribute fully to society as globally engaged citizen leaders conducting research of the highest caliber that seeks to answer questions and create solutions in order to expand human understanding and make a positive difference, both locally and globally advancing outreach, engagement, and economic development activities that are innovative, research- driven, and lead to a better quality of life for individuals and communities, at home and around the world Board of Trustees II. ORGANIZATION The Constitution of the State of Michigan provides that the Board of Trustees shall have general supervision and direction of the University. The eight members are elected from the state at large for a term of eight years, two being elected each even-numbered year. The president of the University is appointed by the Board and by constitutional provision is the presiding officer of the Board. Generally, the Board meets monthly, except as otherwise scheduled by the Board. In accordance with Michigan law, the Board establishes an annual calendar for its regular meetings; meetings are open to the public except for limited closed sessions. Items requiring Board action should be submitted to the Provost's office about three weeks before each Board meeting. In addition to the President the following University officers are present at Board meetings: Provost, Vice President for Finance and Operations and Treasurer, Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, Vice President for Student Affairs and Services, Vice President for University Development, Vice President for Governmental Affairs, General Counsel and Vice President for Legal Affairs, Vice President for University Relations, Secretary of the Board and Executive Assistant to the President, Executive Director of the MSU Alumni Association, and Senior Advisor to the President for Diversity and Director, Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives. Five faculty members and four students selected by their respective constituencies also attend Board meetings. Academic Governance II. ORGANIZATION The following summary information is from the Bylaws for Academic Governance1; the Bylaws were approved by the Board of Trustees on April 15, 2016. Footnote: 1 The Secretary for Academic Governance is secretary to the Academic Congress, the University Council, the Faculty Senate and The Steering Committee. The Office of the Secretary provides staff support to the University Council, Faculty Senate and the Steering Committee, supervises elections for Academic Governance and its committees, and provides assistance to colleges and departments in the preparation and interpretation of unit bylaws for academic governance. The Office of the Secretary is located in Room W32 Owen Hall (355-2337). Preamble II. ORGANIZATION Under its bylaws and Michigan's Constitution, the Board of Trustees has the responsibility to develop a free and distinguished university and to promote the welfare of mankind through teaching, research and public service. The Board of Trustees exercises final authority and responsibility for University governance within the bounds fixed by the State Constitution. In exercising its responsibility the Board delegates to the president, and through him or her, to the faculty appropriate authority and jurisdiction over matters for which they are accountable to the Board. In other cases, for example, faculty appointments, promotions, and tenure, the Board does not delegate, but instead instead looks to the faculty for recommendations. The specific powers delegated to the faculty are detailed in the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees. The Board also has declared its intention to give due consideration to the opinions of students on matters directly related to their interest. It is important to specify the manner and process by which the faculty and students develop and communicate their views to the President and the Board. These Bylaws for Academic Governance are designed to provide an effective system for the participation of faculty and students in the development of policy on academic matters. The Faculty II. ORGANIZATION The faculty of the University is defined in the Bylaws of Academic Governance section 1.1.1 as follows: The "regular faculty" shall consist of all persons appointed under the rules of tenure and holding the rank of professor, associate professor or assistant professor and all persons appointed as librarians. The "fixed term faculty" shall consist of all persons holding the rank of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor, but not appointed under the rules of tenure. The "Health professions faculty" shall consist of all faculty appointed in the Health Programs Faculty Appointment System who hold the rank of professor, associate professor, or assistant professor in the Colleges of Human Medicine, Nursing, Osteopathic Medicine, or Veterinary Medicine. The "Facility for Rare Isotope Beams/National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (FRIB/NSCL) faculty" shall consist
