Governance

Rackham Board of Governors

The Rackham Board of Governors was established according to the terms of the Rackham bequest, which was accepted by the Board of Regents in September 1935. The bequest calls for the continued existence of this body. The president of the university serves as chair of the board, and the Rackham dean serves as secretary. The three other members serve six-year terms. The board itself approves the appointment of new members as vacancies arise.
