Board of Governors SIXTY FORM BOARD A legislative act of 1945 provided for 15 regents, who along with 45 additional Houstonians form the University of Houston’s Board of Governors. Since its formation in 1956, the Board, along with governing administrative practices, has worked to solve the University’s problem of operating deficits. The problem has continued to grow, primarily because of necessary raises in faculty salaries. In the period from 1957-1961 the Board raised the sum of SI,900,000, plus sizeable matching gifts to bridge the gap between income and outgo. A committee was established to seek permanent endowment funds. During 1960 and the major portion of 1961, the Board as a group, and as individuals, gave their full-hearted support to help bring about a successful conclusion to the bid for full state support.
