The Board consists of 15 members whose appointment or election is provided for in the Delaware Code, and the governor of the state and the President of the University, both of whom shall be members of the Board, ex officio, with the right to vote.

Presidential Tenure Highlights

Since its founding in 1891 as the Delaware College for Colored Students, Delaware State University has benefited from the leadership of 11 presidents, including Dr. Jerome Holland, who navigated the institution through instability in the 1950s with the promise of future prosperity.
