A university's governing board, also known as the trustees, regents, or board of visitors, possesses fundamental legal authority over the university. The authority of the governing board is vested in it by the state wherein the school resides or, particularly in the case of older, private institutions, by legally binding royal or colonial charters. Both public and private governing boards are generally constituted of citizen trustees. In the public case those trustees are often political appointees who serve as a fundamental link between the institution and state and national political structures.
The liaison between a postsecondary institution and its governing board is the highest ranking executive officer, a president or chancellor. The president provides overall leadership to the institution and presides over its academic and administrative bureaus. The faculty senate and its attendant committees provide elected faculty liaisons to the university board and president. A primary function of the senate is to represent the voice of the faculty in matters of university governance.

2-Critical Success Factor
This opinion or concept of CSF (critical success factor) has been accepted and cited by many scholars (Averweg & Erwin, 2009; Boynton & Zmud, 2004; Butler & Fitzgerald, 2009:12-20).
Earlier literature about critical success factors for m-commerce (e.g. SMS) addresses many aspects, including technology, social, and business factors. The Short text messaging (SMS) seems to be one of the most popular m-commerce technical standards to enable m-commerce anytime, anywhere. Thus, reviewing critical factors of mySMS adoption by the university will provide some ways to identify the critical success factors for m-commerce.
Hung, Ku, and Chang (2003) built a model based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) in order to understand SMS adoption behaviour in the university. 3G is another important technology for m-commerce. The success factors are as follows:
• The KIS effect: keep it simple.
• The KIP effect: keep it personal.
• Flexible finance.
• Partner for profit.
• Integrate to accumulate.
The factors related to broadband services and complex applications will become more and more important with regard to ever-evolving mobile services. They point out that prices of services and terminals, the quality of transmission, and coverage are critical success factors of previous GSMbased mobile communications. Today, however, transmission rate, data protection, integrity of communication, transmission security and reliability, user-friendliness, the design of the man-engine-interface, and personalization have become critical success factors for advanced mobile technologies.
The six critical success factors for mySMS (Integrity of the mySMS Interface, Availability of Technology, Availability of mySMS Infrastructure, Interoperability, Security, and Speed and Efficiency), there is only one significant factor. "Security was indeed the major concern of the respondents". It is also believed that there is one factor for m-commerce success. "Student trust is crucial for the growth and success of mobile commerce". They suggest that extending initial trust formation to continuous trust development could sustain student trust in m-commerce, and that technology trust and vendor trust are equally important in securing student trust.
The value propositions are extended to key success factors ...
