What does the Board of Trustees do? If you can't answer this question, you're likely not alone. Luckily, on this episode of Terras Irradient, we're joined by three members of Amherst College's Board of Trustees -- Andy Nussbaum '85, Paul Smith '78, and Shirley Tilghman -- to break down their role on campus. From the construction of the new student center to the wages of Valentine Dining Hall Employees, we answer all of your questions about this long mysterious group of individuals that we call the trustees. Also on this episode: how much does the political makeup of the board matter, and how can we improve communication between students and the trustees?
