Mills College is incorporated under the laws of the State of California and is controlled by a Board of Trustees that is responsible for all its business and affairs. The board appoints the president of the College, who is the executive and educational head of the College and the chief executive officer of the faculty. The president is a member of the board and all its standing committees. The board, on recommendation of the president, also appoints principal officers of the College and members of the faculty.
Community participation in board deliberations is assured through the structure of working committees for the board. Under the College bylaws, student and faculty leaders are members of two standing committees of the Mills Board of Trustees—the Educational Policies and Student Life Committees.
