The corporate body known as The Curators of the ǿմý is organized as a university system. The ǿմý System was formed in 1963 and consists of system administration and four universities: the ǿմý-Columbia, the ǿմý-Kansas City, the Missouri University of Science and Technology, the ǿմý-St. Louis, and all of their component parts, including MU Health, MU Extension and UM Engagement (hereinafter referred to as “University” or “UM System”). The ǿմý Board of Curators (“Board”) reaffirms the value and importance of the University’s general organization as a university system and the basic concept that the University will be one university system. This one university system concept requires a centrally directed and unified administration and operation and the Board reaffirms the authority already granted to the President to direct the manner of implementation of this concept. The Board expects full cooperation of all faculty and staff to carry out this general policy. The Board directs that in the consideration and drafting of proposed rules and regulations that such concept be followed.
