BU's governance structure and bylaws is founded on the principle that academic concerns, guided by a curriculum developed by the faculty, are the basis of our institution and that the student is the focus of the resulting educational program.

This governance model acknowledges our strengths and traditions and our collective bargaining agreements. We recognize the propriety interests, rights and responsibilities of the various university constituencies. Foremost, we are sensitive to the value of open communication in our university community.
