Özet:
Student members of governing boards, commonly called student trustees, hold important roles in their institution's community. They have the same authority as other board members, having direct input on the myriad issues today's governing boards must consider. Scant literature addresses these students, studies are published sometimes decades apart and often focus on varying topics rather than building a unified research narrative. The present study draws together the different strands of research, providing a comprehensive examination of this under studied population.
Using data collected from student trustees, student government presidents, and governing board members at public colleges and universities in the United States, this study answers three lingering questions. First, what are the demographics of student trustees? This basic question has not been addressed by researchers in nearly three decades, leaving a fundamental question unanswered. Second, to what degree do student trustees engage in representative behavior? Prior publications suggest widespread concern that student trustees may place their own wellbeing as students before their fiduciary duty towards their institution. The data used here allows for a unique exploration of this concern from multiple perspectives. Finally, does the presence of student trustees have an effect on the relationship between students and governing boards? Student trustees came about in the 1960s as a means to bridge the divide between these two groups, but no study to date has explored whether this goal has been accomplished.
Demographic findings show that student trustees have become more diverse in terms of race and gender over time. Near equal numbers of men and women serve in these roles today. Although most student trustees identify as White or Caucasian, there is greater racial diversity than in prior studies. Findings demonstrate that student trustees engage in some degree of representative behavior, student outreach being most common. Other forms are reported at lower levels. Appointment method can matter, with some evidence suggesting that elected student trustees are more likely to engage in representative behavior. Finally, these data suggest that the presence of student trustees is generally not associated with increased satisfaction with the mechanisms governing boards use to engage students.
