This law defines the identity of the institution as a government corporation and spells out its vision and mission. As a corporation, the institution is governed by a board of trustees which is the law-making body of the Polytechnic. The Board formulates policies which guide the college in the realization of its vision and accomplishment of its mission. These policies are made to meet the peculiar needs of the polytechnic which are not needed in other institutions or agencies. The governing board also sees to it that decisions and actions of the president of the polytechnic are made in accordance to the policies it has passed and other directives issued by proper authorities. Thus, the board has to confirm major decisions made by the college president.
