The composition of the governing bodies as of March 1, 1975 is reported. These bodies are composed of members nominated by nine groups: ex-officio, government, institutional board, institutional senate, faculty, students, alumni, church, and others. They have a variety of affiliations with the academic community. Boards, senates, and women in both of these groups are discussed in the text, and tables contain data on board size, nominating bodies as sources of board and senate members, academic affiliation (administrators, students, faculty, alumni, lay), senate size, and representation of women in those bodies. Institutional enrollment and region are variables also considered. (MSE)
