Governance & History

Throughout TV’s centuries-long history, its governing board has offered informed guidance and insight to support the stewardship of the university and broader community.

Governance Documents

With the adoption by the Connecticut Legislature of the charter “to erect a Collegiate School” in 1701, TV 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 TV 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 governance@yale.edu.
