Welcome to the Southern University and A&M College System’s Board of Supervisors web page.

The Board of Supervisors is the governing body for the SU System (Southern University Shreveport, Southern University Baton Rouge, Southern University Law Center, Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, and Southern University New Orleans).

Our chief responsibility is to provide management and supervision to the Southern University System through strategic planning and measured oversight.  Collectively and individually, our goal is to provide service, leadership, and philanthropy to support the University and its vision.

The University’s value proposition is simple: we equip our students with a marketable skill which empowers them to compete in a global marketplace.  We are proudly one system in five locations throughout Louisiana offering affordable access to an academic inventory that is aligned with workforce demands.  The University’s commitment to its diverse student population and surrounding communities is vital to attracting and maintaining meaningful partnerships with our alumni, private and public interests, major donors, and other important stakeholders.

At this critical time for Southern University in particular, and higher education in general, it is important that we communicate our achievements, goals, and progress. We invite you to browse our website and visit often to stay abreast of breaking news, accomplishments, and events from throughout the Southern University System.

Finally, we expect to be held accountable and earnestly solicit your constructive comments, thoughts, and ideas.  Your valuable feedback and input will inform our work and enhance effective board operations, governance, and constituent relations.

Respectfully yours,

Domoine D. Rutledge, Esq.
Chairman
