One could argue that all non-profit boards are benevolently autocratic; however there points seems to be that the particularly small and insular nature of the Board of Fellows is a problem.

For example: Yale, which notes their small board, has nineteen members; Brown has 55 in its equally powerful two branches of the corporation.
