Requests to Address the Board

In conjunction with regular meetings of the Board of Trustees, an opportunity will be provided for students, employees, and members of the public to address the Board, or a committee of the Board, concerning items on the meeting agenda or other issues germane to the responsibilities of the Board.  The agenda for committee and Board meetings will be published on the Board website approximately one week prior to the meeting.
