Such board constitutes a body corporate by the name of "The Trustees of the University of Wyoming" and is granted all the powers necessary or convenient to accomplish the objects and perform the duties prescribed by law. Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees include making major policy decisions and approving administrative and faculty appointments.
