Background
The Board of Trustees acts as the governing body of the University of San Diego. The board meets quarterly each school year and holds special meetings as necessitated by important issues or events. The Board of Trustees records from 1950 through May 1972 centered on the San Diego College for Men and the School of Law, referred to as the University of San Diego in official documents. The San Diego College for Women maintained a separate Board of Trustees through May 1972. The Board of Trustees was known as the Board of Regents from August 1957 through September 1962, then reverted to the Board of Trustees in April 1968 after an almost six-year gap in meeting records. A new Board of Trustees debuted in June 1972 following the merger of the San Diego College for Women with the San Diego College for Men and School of Law to become the modern-day iteration of the University of San Diego.
