The Board is the highest
governing body at NTNU.
The Board makes decisions
on issues of principal importance. The Board is responsible for
activities at the university and for ensuring that the university
operates within the framework and guidelines stipulated by the Ministry
of Education and Research, and the Storting. It is the Board that
decides the strategies, objectives and the expected results from
NTNU. It also presents the accounts, financial statements and budget
proposals. The Board appoints the Rector.
The
Rector is the Secretary to the Board and the head of academic
and administrative affairs at NTNU.
The Rector reports to
the Board and represents NTNU on a day-to-day basis. The Rector
is responsible for communications between the Board and the outside
world regarding decisions passed by the Board.
There are 11
members of the Board. Three are from the academic staff at NTNU,
one represents academic or research staff without tenure, one represents
the technical and administrative staff. There are also two student
members of the Board and four external representatives (all from
outside the university). All members are elected for a four-year
term, except for the two student representatives and the representative
for academic or research staff without tenure who are elected for
one year.
