Board of Trustees Agenda 2020

CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Board of Trustees February 21, 2020

ACTION – Board Bylaws Revisions

The bylaws of the Board of Trustees reside in CWU Policy 1-70-010 through 1-70-040. Bylaws have been reviewed by the Secretary to the Board in collaboration with the assistant attorney general, department or division heads, and the president.

Revisions to the bylaws have the following effects:

Section 1-70-010 (Last reviewed in 2013.) • Section 1-70-020 (Last reviewed in 2013.) •

No impact to operations. Revisions clean up language

Removes language prescribing the order of business for meetings. • Specifies that communications to the board received within seven days of a board meeting will be shared with the board at that meeting; communications received after that time will be transmitted at the next meeting. Current language simply states any communication should be shared at the next board meeting, presumably, even if received the night before, allowing board members little time to read and understand the information transmitted. • Removes language stipulating where trustees shall sit in any given meeting room. Section 1-70-030 (Last reviewed in 2011.) • No revisions to this section. Section 1-70-040 (Unclear when the last revision occurred.) • Deletes language about the use of the university seal and replaces it with current brand guidelines. We recommend the following motion: The Board of Trustees hereby approve revisions to the bylaws contained in CWUP section 1-70-010 through 1- 70-040. Submitted: Approved for submittal to the Board:

Linda Schactler Chief of Staff
