41. COMMERCIAL SUPPORT

NGS Sources of Funding

NGS has the following sources of funding: tuition, accrued interest from its endowment, sponsored research by agencies of the US Government and the private sector, and donations (“gifts”) from alumni and other diverse individuals and organizations. Both the sponsored research and the donations may be “restricted,” that is, established for a specific purpose or “open” donations to be used for purposes that are deemed appropriate by the School. NGS generally characterizes itself as “tuition dependent,” meaning that the vast majority of its funding derives from tuition revenues. There is no “restricted” funding by third-part interests that influences any NGS academic program.

NGS as Sole Arbiter of Academic Affairs

In all cases, NGS is the sole arbiter of all matters related to curriculum architecture of its degrees and certificates, all conduct of academic affairs and decisions as to whether the current or proposed degrees and certificates are relevant to institutional mission. Institutional By-Laws require that all matters related to academic affairs are brought annually to the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees for approval prior to implementation. In no case does any third party interest influence, dictate or decide on matters of academic process, content or curricula.

42. BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees is comprised of volunteer professionals who are well respected in their fields. They are selected to be Board of Trustees members based upon their experience and ability to provide for the overall governance of and strategic direction for The National Graduate School of Quality Management. The trustees have extensive experience in executive quality management, in higher education, law and finance. They serve terms from one to three years, and may be re-elected per the terms of the By-laws. The National Graduate School of Quality Management also relies on advice from its Advisory Board, a non-voting group which offers strategic advice and counsel to the Board of Trustees and to the school’s management team. Inquiries regarding Board membership and Board members should be directed to the Office of the President, The National Graduate School of Quality Management.
