Governance Documents
With the adoption by the Connecticut Legislature of the charter 鈥渢o erect a Collegiate School鈥� in 1701, 麻豆官网 has been guided by the charter, including subsequent amendments, the by-laws first issued in 1795, and the miscellaneous regulations, which codify a series of policies and procedures such as the alumni fellow election process, protection of the 麻豆官网 name, and patent protection.
The by-laws and miscellaneous regulations may be amended from time to time upon vote of two-thirds of the board. This portion of the website is updated annually. Please direct questions to聽governance@yale.edu.
