Rutgers board elects officers for 2025–26, renames audit committee to add risk and compliance
Summary
The Board unanimously approved the Executive Committee’s slate (Amy L. Towers as chair, James F. Dougherty as vice chair, and other officers), and approved renaming the Committee on Audit to the Committee on Audit, Risk and Compliance with updated charge language.
At its June 17 meeting, the Board of Governors approved the Executive Committee’s recommended slate of officers for July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, electing Amy L. Towers as Chair and James F. Dougherty as Vice Chair. The nominations for Board officers and university corporation officers were presented by the Executive Committee, placed on the Consent Agenda and approved without discussion.
Separately, the Board approved recommended revisions to the charge of the Committee on Audit and endorsed renaming it the Committee on Audit, Risk and Compliance. The revised charge expands reporting expectations, adds explicit references to risk and compliance oversight, and updates the committee’s interaction with internal and external audit functions. The revisions were adopted as reflected in the minutes and the revised committee charge is appended to the Board materials.
