College Leadership
Governance
While all legal authority for the College rests with the Board of Trustees, Bank Street has a strong commitment to “shared governance,” the concept that faculty and staff are engaged when it comes to the setting of priorities and direction. This is clearly expressed in Staff Council and in the College By Laws (pdf).
