Abstract	The most difficult, self-effacing, and intangible role in higher education today is that of top management policy determination. Trustees carry the key management policy role and should neither be diverted nor shrink from it. Trustees must constantly assess their progress and modify their plans. Six points are suggested: (1) Trustees should devote more time and presence as individuals to Board affairs. (2) Trustees must give more attention to establishing a clear interface with administrators. (3) More improved staff preparation for Board meetings can increase efficiency. (4) Board's structure should be designed to carry the major workloads. (5) Boards should set aside time for relaxed exchange of views concerning problem areas and future options. (6) Trustees should open better channels of communication with various institutional constituencies. (Author/PG)
