By statute, the 58 North Carolina community college boards of trustees each have 12 members appointed to four-year terms plus the student government president serving as an ex officio nonvoting member. Trustees are appointed by the board of commissioners of the county in which the institution is located, the area’s local board of education, and the General Assembly.
State statute also sets out the board’s role with its institution, giving each “powers to enable it to acquire, hold, and transfer real and personal property, to enter into contracts, to institute and defend legal actions and suits, and to exercise such other rights and privileges as may be necessary for the management and administration of the institution.”
