University of Indianapolis Board of Trustees

The control and management of the University of Indianapolis are vested in a Board of Trustees selected from the community, the United Methodist Church, the alumni, and at-large representation from the state and nation. In addition, there are three ex-officio members of the Board: the resident United Methodist bishop of the area, the president of University, and the president of the Alumni Association.

The essential function of the board is policy-making and goal-setting, the assurance of sound management, and active participation in the provision of necessary funds or other resources as required to support the purpose of the University. The board has ultimate responsibility to determine general, educational, financial and related policies deemed necessary for the administration and development of the University in accordance with its stated goals.
