CMU trustees to discuss adding women's sports
CMED facilities, strategic planning and presidential review also on agenda
December 03, 2012 —
The Central Michigan University Board of Trustees will consider adding golf and lacrosse to the roster of women’s sports when it meets in formal session Thursday.
Trustees will receive a recommendation from the university’s Gender Equity Committee that women’s golf and lacrosse be added to reinforce the university’s commitment to equitable athletics participation for men and women and to ensure CMU’s continued compliance with Title IX. A full report from the committee will be presented to the board and released to the public at that time.
In other matters, three agenda items relate to College of Medicine facility needs. Trustees will consider resolutions requesting:
- An additional $525,000 from university reserves for future construction for the planning and design of CMED facilities in Saginaw, which would bring costs related to the design development phase to $2,275,000.
- Authorization to execute a lease for 16,000 square feet at $15 per square foot for administrative office space for CMED. Funding, not to exceed $240,000 a year, would come from the College of Medicine operating budget. Space in the new CMED building on campus is adequate to meet student academic needs, but it does not provide enough space for all staff members.
- Authorization to execute a lease for 2,583 square feet at $15 per square foot to provide clinical space for Dr. Sandra Howell’s medical practice. Howell is a CMED assistant professor of surgery. The $38,745 annual lease would be funded from the College of Medicine operating budget. Moving forward, CMED will be acquiring additional private practices as it recruits additional faculty. Money generated from the private practices will provide essential revenue for the college.
Other action items to come before the CMU trustees include:
- Discussion of the university’s vision statement and strategic priorities.
- Review of the report and recommendations from the Presidential Review Committee, and
- Election of Board of Trustees officers for 2013.
The formal board meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 6 in the President’s Conference Room of the Bovee University Center and is open to the public.
In addition, committee meetings will be open to the university community and the general public on Wednesday, Dec. 5. All meetings will be held in the President’s Conference Room in the Bovee University Center.
