The trustees are appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the State Senate, and hold office for a term of six years or until their successors are appointed and qualified.
The President of the Student Government Association serves as a nonvoting, ex officio member at the pleasure of the Board.
CAFETERIA BENEFITS PLAN (TAX-EXEMPT PREMIUM DEDUCTIONS) The University's Cafeteria Plan currently exempts from federal, state, and FICA tax any payroll- deducted premium paid by the employee for health/vision, dental, cancer, accident, hospital indemnity, or supplemental vision coverage. At the end of the tax year, all tax exemption amounts are deducted from gross wages subject to tax, and the net amount is reported in the appropriate block on Federal Form W-2.
