Regarding this Agenda item, Chair Mason explained that the Presidential Search brochure, as developed and approved by the KSU Board of Regents, would become the basis for questions asked of candidates.

Chair Mason remarked that while all meetings would be made public and minutes recorded, discussions regarding candidates or interviews would occur in a closed session; further, pursuant to KRS 61.018(1)(f), no actions would be taken during closed sessions.

Noting the importance of seeking input from other campus and community constituencies, Chair Mason suggested that one or two forums be held on campus for faculty, staff and student interaction and an additional forum be hosted in downtown Frankfort to encourage community engagement with candidates.

Finally, Chair Mason noted that Committee members will be required to submit confidentiality forms with each of their candidate review materials, in order to protect the privacy of candidates and to ensure the legitimacy and integrity of the presidential search process.

Regent Dukes requested clarification as to the public campus and community forums proposed by Chair Mason.

Regent Walston queried whether the public forum sessions also would be recorded and memorialized with meeting minutes.

Dr. Mayberry inquired as to the timeline for the public campus and community forums.

Chair Mason concluded the meeting, thanking Committee members for their willingness to serve throughout the presidential search process.

MOTION by Regent Walston:
