Move the Board to approve the resolution to provide Interim President Johnson with signatory authority on the Fifth Third Bank account. Seconded by Regent Moyer and passed without dissent.
Chair Patton and President Johnson presented this Agenda item.
Attorney Lang clarified that the item on the table was not to approve the CPE Management Improvement Plan that been presented earlier. Rather, the item on the table concerned whether Board members would want to participate at the CPE meeting and vote symbolically to endorse the MIP.
As a discussion unfolded, it was noted that Regents had not yet received the MIP Objectives spreadsheet that Mr. Powell had discussed earlier in the meeting, and that it would be difficult to vote to endorse something that they did not have full information on.
Regent Dukes requested that Travis Powell’s MIP spreadsheet also include a column next to each objective indicating how each objective is to be funded, noting that some of the objectives (such as the online learning platform) will require large sums of money and resources that KSU currently does not have. Regent Dukes further requested that the proposed funding column should include sources of funding to implement, configure, and maintain each objective.
Regent Moyer suggested that the Board signal their support for the proposed MIP by endorsing the following statement: “The Board of Regents of Kentucky State University supports the continued development of an appropriately funded Management Improvement Plan in cooperation with the CPE”. Chair Patton stated that Regent Moyer’s motion captured the concerns that had been raised by the Board as to this Agenda item.
Chair Patton called for a Motion to approve Regent Moyer’s substitute motion and statement, indicating the Board’s support for the continued development of an appropriately funded Management Improvement Plan, in cooperation with the CPE.
