how their applications were to be managed as opposed to the applications of students who already have housing.
Regent Adams asked how long student accounts receivables are allowed to continue before being considered uncollectable.
Regarding asset management and deferred maintenance, Chair Patton inquired if the Board has been apprised of the priorities of the buildings that will be utilizing the $8 million.
Hearing no further questions, Chair Patton thanked Dr. Shields for his report and then invited a motion to take a ten-minute recess.
MOTION by Regent Adams:
Move the Board to take a ten-minute recess.
Seconded by Regent Walston and passed without dissent.
After the meeting reconvened, Chair Patton asked Dr. Leroy Hamilton Jr., Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, to present the Academic Affairs Update.
Chair Patton invited questions following the conclusion of this report. Regent Hatchett asked Provost Hamilton if KSU has received any good publicity, either locally or statewide, concerning all the good things happening within Academic Affairs and the University as a whole.
Mr. Travis Powell, General Counsel and VP of the Council on Post-Secondary Education (“CPE”), presented this Agenda item.
Mr. Powell provided all individuals present at the meeting with a copy of an email sent to the Regents the previous evening, which contained the Management Improvement Plan (“MIP”). He then introduced Dr. Stephanie Mayberry, Senior Director for KSU Relations. His presentation is incorporated by reference.
Mr. Powell proceeded with an outline of the Management Improvement Plan, which was due to be submitted to the General Assembly on November 1, 2022.
Mr. Powell paused and invited questions and comments. Chair Patton noted that he did not have a copy of the Management and Improvement Plan that was distributed during the meeting and asked that Regent Fletcher, who was not present, also received a copy. Mr. Powell replied that he had previously emailed a copy to all the Regents. He asked Chair Patton to advise Mr. Atwell, the Board’s Secretary, if he were unable to find a copy in his electronic mailbox.
Regent Hatchett asked how long it would be before the Board would receive the spreadsheet that Mr. Powell was currently developing for the MIP—incorporating not only all bullet points in the MIP, but also detailing each objective, including benchmarks for each objective, due dates for each objective, and deliverables for each objective. Mr. Powell replied that he hoped to provide the Regents with a copy of the spreadsheet by the end of the following week.
