Governance
While final decisions regarding the Institute shall be made by the Dean of The University of Southern Mississippi's College Education and Psychology, the Institute will be guided by an advisory board consisting of educators and those connected to the field of education. Terms of advisory board members shall be for three years and staggered in such a way as to apportion the appointments evenly. A maximum two-term limitation with a twelve-month absence is required for an individual to be reappointed after serving the term limit. Vacancies on the Institute Advisory Board shall be made by the dean.
