the governing board as the Board of Trustees of
the State Universities and Colleges, designated
the University of Baltimore as an upper division
academic institution, and redesignated Towson
State College as Towson State University contin-
gent upon the institution meeting the criteria for
name-change established by the State Board for
Higher Education. Chapter 538, Acts of 1976, in-
creased the membership of the Board of Trustees
to eleven members (ten public members, one stu-
dent member), all of whom are appointed by the
Governor, and removed the requirement that the
State Superintendent of Schools serve as an ex of-
ficio member. The incumbent public members of
the Board as of June 30, 1976, serve until the ex-
piration of their respective nine-year terms.
Thereafter, the non-student appointive members
serve for five-year terms and are eligible for
rcappointment, but may not serve for more than
two full terms, including a term that commenced
prior to July 1, 1971. The student member must
be eighteen years of age or older and a full-time
undergraduate in good standing at a State college
or university at the time of appointment and
must possess the qualifications required to be
president of the student government at his insti-
tution. He serves a one-year term commencing
July 1 of each year. The student member is
appointed from the various State colleges and
universities in the order of their date of chartering
until all the State colleges or universities have
been represented, at which time the system of ro-
tation is repeated (Code Education Article, secs.
14-101 through 14-401).

The Board of Trustees submits an annual re-
port in January of each year to the Governor and
to the members of the General Assembly, which
includes a summary of the Board's major activi-
ties for the previous year together with a financial
statement and other statistical data (student en-
rollment, number of degrees awarded, etc.) per-
taining to the institutions under its aegis.

The Board also publishes a manual for distri-
bution within the State University and College
System entitled Laws Relating to and Governing
Policies and Procedures of the Board of Trustees of
the State Universities and Colleges of Maryland.
The purpose of the manual is to provide adminis-
trative guidelines for the operation of the State
universities and colleges, and it is amended from
time to time to reflect changes in Board policy.
