Dear Colleagues:

I am looking for information from state universities
as to authority/ownership issues with museum collections.
Specifically:
1) Does ownership of the collections rest within the university
        or has a separate foundation been established?
2) If a foundation, what kind? university or separate museum fd?
3) Do the collections reside within a university owned/maintained building?
4) Does an advisory committee or board oversee collections management
issues?
5) If so, please outline the composition of the board i.e.
        academic? faculty? administrative officials? outside representatives?

Thank you very much for your responses,

--
