The Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors convened Friday to interview student representative candidates and consider faculty representative candidates to the Board.
Vice Rector Victoria Harker immediately moved the committee into closed session to begin the interview process for the student representative position.
“I move that the Executive Committee go into closed session to interview candidates for student representative and consider candidates for faculty representative to the Board,” Harker said.
Fourth-year College student Gregory Perryman currently serves as student representative to the Board, and Engineering Prof. Jim Lambert currently serves as faculty representative to the Board. Both are non-voting positions with one-year terms, and the representatives frequently provide updates regarding student and faculty life at the University during full Board meetings.
The Executive Committee is composed of seven Board members, including Rector Carlos M. Brown — the chair of the committee — and Harker — the vice chair of the committee.
The Executive Committee is charged with overseeing the Board’s work and recommending best governance practices. Specifically, the Executive Committee reviews the Board’s governing documents and recommends changes, provides advice to the Board regarding committee structure, appointments and meetings, oversees continued education for Board members, monitors compliance with the Board’s code of ethics and manages Board membership. All actions by the Executive Committee must pass with a two-thirds vote and be reported to the full Board at its next regular meeting.
The Board’s Finance Committee will meet April 6 — the next meeting scheduled for the Board — for an educational workshop on undergraduate tuition and free increases. The meeting will include a public comment session for registered speakers, and it will be held online.
