Meeting of the Board of Regents | December 2007

SUMMARY

Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda)

Should the Regents approve the proposed Reappointments of Adjunct Members to the Regents Review Committee?

Reason(s) for Consideration

Required by State statute.

                           
Proposed Handling

The question will come before the Higher Education and Professional Practice Committee at its December meeting where it will be voted on and action taken.  It will then come before the full Board at its December meeting for final action.

Procedural History

              Pursuant to statute, the Regents Review Committee, when it sits to hear professional discipline hearings, consists of three members, at least one of whom is a member of the New York State Board of Regents.  The balance of the Committee serving is obtained from the roster of those appointed by the Board of Regents as Adjunct Members of the Regents Review Committee.  Adjunct Members of the Regents Review Committee are appointed to serve for fixed terms.

Background Information

              On December 31, 2007, terms of service will expire for Adjunct Members of the Regents Review Committee.  In view of the successful service of the following individuals, as well as in view of the need to have available a complete roster of those eligible to serve in order to assure the necessary number of meetings of the Regents Review Committee to process the professional discipline caseload, I recommend the reappointment of the following Adjunct Members of the Regents Review Committee.

The Honorable Walter Cooper

The Honorable Robert E. Donnelly

The Honorable Kenneth D. Friedman

The Honorable Norma Gluck

The Honorable Carole F. Huxley
