The Temple University Board of Trustees approved a series of governance, academic and finance items during its public meeting.
On governance, the board adopted a resolution in memoriam for trustee Sandra Harmon Weiss and observed a moment of silence. Trustee Greenberg presented the resolution and moved it for approval; the motion was seconded and carried.
The governance and nominating committee recommended reappointing Brett Perkins to the board for a four-year term effective immediately; the board confirmed the appointment. The committee also recommended electing Leslie Ann Miller to the board with a term ending at the annual meeting; the board approved her election.
The Academic Affairs, Student Success and Diversity Committee recommended granting tenure to the faculty listed on a roster kept on file in the provost's office. The board voted to grant tenure to those faculty. The committee also asked that officers be authorized to implement academic program actions described in the agenda; that authorization was approved.
On finance, Trustee Cardino presented two items: authorization to proceed with a regional medical school academic affiliation agreement with WellSpan (agenda reference 7), and authorization for officers to proceed with acquisition of 1535 Dash 37 North Carlisle Street at a cost not to exceed $2,095,300 with funding from the University Reserve Fund (agenda reference 8). Both motions were moved, seconded and approved. The record includes at least one voiced opposition during the roll call for the WellSpan affiliation and for the property authorization; however, the motions carried.
The treasurer recommended receiving investor reports for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2024; the board approved receipt and inclusion in the meeting materials. The secretary recommended approval of degrees in course for candidates approved by faculty committees with specified diploma dates for professional schools; the board approved those degree dates.
Most routine motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; explicit "Aye" responses were recorded throughout the meeting, and several items had no recorded opposition. When an individual voiced a "No" during roll calls, the chair noted the opposition but confirmed the motion as carried.
The meeting concluded with reports from guest speakers about faculty engagement and upcoming faculty forums; the chair adjourned the meeting after no additional business was raised.
