Trustees received summaries from three morning committees and approved routine business items.
Committee reports: Trustee Allen summarized the Academic Research and Student Success Committee, noting approval of the general-education redesign proposal and the academic calendars and informational items including the graduate medical education review and a synthetic biology strategic initiative. Trustee DeCarlo reviewed Finance and Administration actions: approval of a 0% College of Medicine tuition increase for 2024'25 (as proposed), housing and food-service rates to be included on the consent agenda (proposed housing increases in a range around 5'11.2%), and a quarterly financial update showing a 6.5% increase in unrestricted revenue year-over-year. Trustee Stegall Jones described Audit Committee work, including a revision to the FY24 audit plan to add two fraud/waste/abuse items and an update on the Clery public-safety report.
Votes and motions: The board approved the November meeting minutes following a motion and second and later adopted the consent agenda after a roll-call check and no items were pulled. At the end of the meeting the chair asked for and received a motion to adjourn; the board adjourned without convening an executive session.
No formal policy decisions beyond committee approvals were taken during the session; trustees moved to adjourn after the president's presentation.
