Emeritus Trustee has no right to board information

An “Emeritus Trustee” of the University of Pittsburgh, who can be invited to be a non-voting observer at the University board meetings, does not have a director’s rights to information as spelled out in the Pennsylvania Nonprofit Corporation Law, a trial court in Pittsburgh has held.  The Court has said that the Emeritus Trustee has no managerial oversight over the activities of the University and is therefore not entitled to the information.
