Harvard vs Chicago: Walking down different paths

@JBStillFlying

I thought all members of the board, regardless of whether they are nominated or elected had “voting” powers. For example for Yale

The Corporation has sixteen trustees: ten appointed successor trustees, each limited to two six-year terms; and six elected alumni fellows, chosen by alumni for staggered six-year terms. Successor trustees and alumni fellows carry the same responsibilities and duties

If alumni fellows have voting rights, then having 6 out of 16 is not a trivial number and can sway how the board views issues right? Am i wrong on this? Do only nominated board members have voting rights?
