CSU is a part of the University System of Ohio, and each institution has a board of trustees comprised of 9-15 voting members along with non-voting student and faculty representatives. Each board is charged by the Ohio Legislature with the responsibility of governing their respective institutions. The bylaws of the Cleveland State University Board of Trustees call for two students to be appointed by the governor for two-year terms as non-voting members of the board. Shorter appointments can be made to fill the unexpired term of a graduated student.
