Governance
Introduction
CMU is governed by a number of key bodies. Internally, governance is offered through the CMU Senate, consisting of all faculty and a number of appointed administrators, and the President’s Council. Externally, CMU has a Board of Governors which meets three times annually, and a Council that serves as an accountability body, meeting annually, and from which the Board of Governors is elected.
