HIGHER education; INTERNATIONAL trusteeships; HIGH school students; QUALITATIVE research; COLLEGE trustees

Despite decades of appointments to the board of trustees, little is known about the roles and experiences of students on higher education boards. The focus of the paper centers on the lineage of student members on the University of California (UC) Board of Regents. The authors expand knowledge and understanding of the student trusteeship in higher education. Findings of this qualitative study illuminate the often marginalized conditions of student trustees as well as the fortitude they exude to position themselves as agents of change within the board. Implications for future research and practice related to student trustees are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
