HLC Board of TrusteesThe Higher Learning Commission's Board of Trustees meets three times a year. The Board of Trustees takes official Commission action through a validation process or through its own deliberations. The Board validates actions decided by other designated decision-making bodies either during its regular meeting or by participating in an electronic or mail form of voting that is completed within four working days of the meeting of the designated decision-making body. Validation requires a two-thirds majority of voting trustees. The Board deliberates on and decides the official action on all recommendations for institutions placed on notice or probation and their removal from such status, withdrawal of affiliation, and application for initial candidacy or initial accreditation, and request for change of institutional control, structure, or organization. The Board issues and removes all show-cause orders. When the Board decides on an official action, it does so by majority vote of those attending a meeting and eligible to vote. The information is current as of 09/01/2011. Board of Trustees Chair Vice Chair Trustees Dr. Michael R.
