Higher Ed Dive and Inside Higher Ed report on a new study that reveals college board members remain mostly white males. The report looked at responses from over 530 higher education institutions and analyzed the makeup of their governing boards. Women held approximately 35% of the seats on foundation boards and members of color accounted for a third of public boards and 17% for private boards. The majority of board members, or 77%, were over the age of 50 in 2020. “It’s important to consider the perspective that boards are part of an ecosystem of higher education, which is embedded in American society,” said Lesley McBain, director of research at AGB.
