Board of Trustees
About the Board of Trustees
Hudson County Community College is governed by its Board of Trustees. The Board of
Trustees consists of the County Superintendent of Schools and 10 persons, eight of
whom who are appointed by the appointing authority of the County with the advice and
consent of the Board of Commissioners, and at least two of whom are appointed by the
Governor. Trustees maintain their Trustee status until they are reappointed or replaced
by the appointing authority. The President of the College serves as an ex-officio
member of the Board of Trustees without vote. In addition, the student body elects
one representative from the graduating class to serve as a non-voting member on the
Board of Trustees for a term of one year.
Trustees are the stewards of the College and as such are responsible for monitoring
its performance relative to compliance with statutes, service to students and the
community, and performance relative to comparable institutions.
