Administration, Faculty, and Staff

Print-Friendly Page (opens a new window)

Benedict College is governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. The Board makes a conscious effort to be as representative as possible and includes among its members qualified individuals representing higher education, the church, business and community leaders, and alumni members. The Board is assisted in its work by several standing committees.

The President of the College is the Chief Executive Officer of the College. He/she is appointed by the Board of Trustees and is charged with the day-to-day operation of the College. In carrying out his/her duties, the President is assisted by these principal administrators: Special Assistant for Planning and Institutional Effectiveness, the Vice President for Academic Affairs; the Vice President for Business and Finance; the Vice President for Institutional Advancement; the Vice President for Student Affairs; and the Athletics Director.

Faculty members are appointed to one of ten academic departments (plus the Military Science Program) as well as to certain administrative or non-teaching positions. They are further classified by rank and may earn tenure after satisfying certain conditions of service and upon recommendation by the President and approval by the Board of Trustees. Most faculty appointments are for an academic year.

Non-teaching staff members serve in professional, clerical, or technical positions and are usually appointed for a period of nine to twelve months.
