Barnard Trustees Discuss Role and Education Strategy
Wallace Jones, chairman of Barnard Board of Trustees, explains trustees are legally bound to oversee the college, hire a strong president, and maintain independence from faculty while ensuring admissions and tenure follow rigorous review. He notes trustees rarely veto faculty policy, emphasizes student relations, and addresses issues from diet in dorms to expansion, with attention to private education’s role and independence.
