Governance

The highest governing body of Inter American University is a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, whose members are elected by the Board itself without any outside intervention or tutelage of any kind. The government of the Institution resides in its Board of Trustees and it has all the powers in harmony with a non-profit post-secondary institution.

The President is the chief executive and academic officer of the Institution. The Systemic Managerial Council is composed of the President of the University, who presides over the Council, the Vice-Presidents, Chancellors, the Deans of the Schools of Law and Optometry, an Executive Secretary appointed by the President, the Executive Director of the Information System, the Executive Director of the Office of the Juridical Advisor, and the Executive Director of the Office of Evaluation and Systemic Research. In addition, when affairs relevant to their functions are being considered by the Council, other persons may participate.
