Faculty, Staff and Student Government

Faculty governance structures directly involve academic leaders in all aspects of University management, including student recruitment, selection, monitoring, evaluation and curriculum development, and faculty recruitment and performance monitoring. Policy recommendations often originate from faculty committees or student representatives.

University staff members are represented by an elected Staff Council, a body that has both campus and systemwide officers.

At each campus, students are represented by a Student Government Association, a self-governing body that enhances student welfare, student life and educational quality. Via a systemwide University Student Government Association, students are actively involved in a wide variety of University governance issues

Board of Trustees:

Alliant International University is governed by a Board that meets quarterly and is legally composed of up to 33 trustees. The majority of its members hold seats that are designated as being for public trustees who bring to the Board expertise in disciplines such as finance, business, education, consumer and public affairs. The officers of the board, Chair and Vice Chair, are elected from the membership.  Members serve terms of three years in succession.

In keeping with the University's innovative character, Alliant's bylaws guarantee faculty and student involvement in governance by requiring that four positions be held by faculty trustees and four by student trustees. Although the bylaws also require that least one alumni of Alliant or one of its legacy institutions hold a Board seat, we always aim to have far more participation from past graduates.
