Board of Trustees

The European Union University is governed by a Board of Trustees, which oversees and provides strategic direction for the University. The Board is made up of members of our EUU Community who are personally committed to keeping the University at the forefront of educational institutions.

The Board is self-perpetuating with Trustees serving without remuneration for normally between 5 to 10 years, ensuring institutional memory and accumulated wisdom.

The Board includes teachers, parents of current students and alumni, and community members from a wide variety of backgrounds which includes ambassadors, corporate leaders, civil servants and members of the current faculty.

The Boards meets four times a year (or more in special cases).

It is the Board’s responsibility to guarantee the long term interest of the University and to support the Director, offer good judgement and support, have a wide knowledge of what’s happening at the University and build relationships.

The University is run by the Director, who relies upon the Board for general input in various decision-making process or when the Board is required to make a decision that’s not appropriate for the Director to make.

Fortunately EUU has had a long established appointee system that ensures a healthy and self-perpetuating flow of governance. The strong relationship between the Faculty and the Board helps keep EUU in safe hands both educationally and financially.
