Administrative Organization

Mayville State University is governed by the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education, consisting of nine members appointed by the governor of the state.

The State Board sets major policies for the institutions under its control. The Board appoints the president of the University to carry out broadly delegated duties. The president is the chief administrative officer of the University. The president appoints all other administrative officers and is the communication link between the campus and the Legislature and Board.

On the local level, the University functions through a number of student-faculty-staff committees that review and recommend policy to the Faculty Association, which is the major academic policymaking body. Students, staff and faculty are encouraged to participate in the numerous committees that help run Mayville State.
