Although the University does not have written policies and procedures to engage external stakeholders in land use planning, capital investment projects, etc., the University’s Board of Governors provides for 17 external members who often are local residents and always are external stakeholders. These members comprise the majority of the Board’s Building and Properties Committee which is tasked with responsibility for land use, capital investment and other development projects.
