Is it permissible for the board to have the majority of members from one chiropractic school?

The guidance on the composition of chiropractic board members emphasizes the importance of diversity and representation across different chiropractic schools to ensure that the governing body operates fairly and in the best interest of the public and the profession. Having a majority of board members from one chiropractic school could lead to biases and conflicts of interest that may compromise the effectiveness and impartiality of the board's decisions. Therefore, the prohibition against a majority from a single school is established to maintain a balanced perspective within the board and to prevent the possibility of monopolistic influences on regulatory practices and policies. This approach ensures that all chiropractic schools and their graduates are equally represented in discussions and decisions that affect the practice as a whole.
