What are the requirements for the number and term of trustees for an educational institution organized as a nonstock corporation?
Trustees of educational institutions organized as nonstock corporations shall be not less than five (5) nor more than fifteen (15), provided that the total number of trustees must be in multiples of five (5) (SEC. 106, Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines). Unless otherwise provided in their documents, the trustees must classify themselves so that the term of office of one-fifth (1/5) of their number shall expire every year. Trustees elected to fill vacancies caused by expiration of term hold office for five (5) years. A majority of the trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
