An attempt to restructure the Penn State Board of Trustees is could be a hot topic in the coming hours.
Board members will be meeting in committees all day Thursday and will hold a full board meeting on Friday.
The meetings will be held at the Penn Stater Conference Center with committee meetings beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday and the full board meeting starting at 1:30 p.m. Friday. StateCollege.com will have full coverage.
The meeting agendas can be viewed here.
The Governance and Long-Range Planning Committee will meet at 9 a.m. Thursday to continue an ongoing discussion about the board’s make up. For months, the committee has tackled the issue of the board’s structure and potential ways to modify its membership.
The committee met in August to discuss three different formal proposals to alter the board’s structure. A document outlining each of these proposals, all of which would reduce the number of voting members on the board, can be seen by clicking HERE.
During the August meeting, the issue that caused the greatest divide among committee members is the appropriate number of alumni-elected trustees.
Continuing a trend seen in past board conversations, the trustees elected by the alumni argued for the increasing importance of alumni-elects, while other members of the committee argued the number of alumni-elected seats should be decreased.
