Howard University Board of Trustees Updates the Board Structure After Almost 50 Years

Chairman Laurence C. Morse

The Board of Trustees is guided by the university’s mission to deliver an educational experience of exceptional quality. To meet that mark, the Board continually examines areas where we can improve our processes and our structure to strengthen the overall institution and better serve the Howard University community. 

Over the last year, the Board underwent an extensive review of its current governance structure to ensure it is both in keeping with best practices of modern universities and designed to optimally engage, seek input, and communicate with university stakeholders. The Board was assisted in this process by an external firm well-regarded for its work in higher education and that has consulted with several prominent universities on good governance and best practices for effective stakeholder engagement.
