Board approves FY27 internal audit plan, seeks clearer materials and training calendar

The board approved the FY27 internal audit plan after the audit committee recommended it and Weaver addressed questions about fraud/investigation hours. The full board took the roll-call vote and approved the plan as part of committee recommendations.

Several trustees used the meeting to press administration for clearer, earlier distribution of materials and to ask governance leadership to define a process for revising bylaws and for delivering board training. Chair Townes told the room that trustees serve as volunteers and that receiving hundreds of pages 48–72 hours before a meeting is not acceptable: "Receiving hundreds and hundreds of pages of documents, 48, 72 hours, is just not acceptable," she said, and asked governance and staff to define processes to improve timing and clarity.

Trustees also requested a board self-assessment and the presidential evaluation process be initiated; administration agreed to provide instruments and next steps.
