She explained the group had recently hit a problem with the resolution passed by the Board in November 2014 that gave then-President Burse all power in creating policies. This calls into question any action item coming from Senate over the last couple years and how they relate to changes that need to be recorded in the Handbook. Chair Glass asked Dr. Jackson if this issue had been addressed at the recent Board meeting, to which the VP replied that she had taken the issue to university legal counsel, but the Board agenda was too full to address the issue. Chair Glass then asked Dr. Jackson if she intended to bring the issue to the Board at the next meeting. Dr. Jackson replied that she planned to do so and that the 2014 resolution did not reflect the spirit of shared governance."
