The Board of Regents approved the draft minutes and the consent report by voice vote during the meeting. Chair Huebsch called for a motion, which was made and seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Committee reports to the full board noted multiple items approved on the board’s behalf by standing committees this month. The Finance and Operations Committee reported five items approved on behalf of the board: two collective bargaining agreements; the resolution related to the president’s recommended 2026 capital plan and the 2026 state capital request; the employment of debt underwriters; and one employment agreement; the committee also reported a resolution related to the transfer of Eastcliff to the University of Minnesota Foundation as part of the consent report.
The Mission Fulfillment Committee reported the unanimous approval of its consent report, which included approval of new academic programs, changes to academic plans, discontinued academic plans, conferral of tenure for new hires, and an amended Goldstein Museum of Design Collections Management Policy.
The committees presented these approvals as items acted on by committee and reported to the board; the transcript does not record separate roll call tallies for those committee approvals in the full board meeting record.
