Organization:The Board Trustees of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Nine are appointed by the Governor for terms of six years, and three student trustees (one from each campus: Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield) are elected by referenda on their campuses for one-year terms. One of these student trustees is appointed by the Governor to have an official vote. The Governor serves as an ex-officio member.
This collection represents a cross-section of responses to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic from non-governmental organizations from around the world across the political spectrum. Organizations were selected from the Center for Global Studies' Custom Search Engine, which has been collecting URLs from NGOs for the past 10 years. These organizations include trade groups, think-tanks, academic associations, aid organizations, and advocacy groups. Each was selected for this web archive because of a substantial reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak. Sites with sub-sites dedicated to COVID-19 or a significant collection of resources were selected. The global nature of the pandemic is clear. This archive provides documentation of how organizations responded and adjusted positions to accommodate, understand, and gain control over a rapidly changing political, economic, and security landscape.
