Occupation of Official Residences of the Chancellors and the President

The Board of Governors reaffirms its expectation that the President of the University and the chancellors of each constituent institution will occupy their official residence, if one is provided, and that these residences will be used for University business and functions; and

It is the policy of the Board of Governors that the President and the chancellors are required to live in their official residences when provided as a condition of employment, except in the case where such a requirement would present a serious hardship; in any such case the President or chancellor must obtain approval from the Board of Governors, except that such approval will not be necessary if the residence is being vacated temporarily while repairs or renovations are being made; and

If the President, in consultation with the Committee on University Personnel, determines that it is in the best interest of the University, a chancellor may be provided a housing stipend in lieu of an official residence. The Board of Governors retains the authority for the appointment of all chancellors and the approval of their initial terms of employment.
