Education Law and Rules of the Board of Regents Relating to Education Corporations
Education Law §216 gives the Board of Regents broad authority to
incorporate educational institutions.
Other provisions of the Education Law, and the Rules of the Board
of Regents, govern the purposes, creation, regulation and dissolution
of education corporations. However, the Education Law does not
provide definitive statutory guidance with respect to corporate
operations. That body of statutory law is found in those provisions
of the Not-For-Profit
Corporation Law (NPCL)
that
are made applicable to education corporations by §216-a of
the Education Law.
