Meeting of the Board of Regents | August 2010

Summary

Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda)

            Should the Regents approve the appointment of Regent Emerita Laura Chodos as an Adjunct Member of the Regents Review Committee? 

Proposed Handling

This question will come before the full Board at its September 2010 meeting where it will be voted on and action taken. 

Procedural History

            Pursuant to statute, the Regents Review Committee, when it sits to conduct professional discipline hearings, consists of three members, with at least one member being a current member of the New York State Board of Regents. The balance of the Committee 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 Committees are appointed to serve for fixed terms.

Background Information

Regent Emerita Chodos served honorably and well for seventeen years on the Board of Regents, including many occasions when she served as Chairperson of the Regents Review Committee. Her professional judgment and experience would make her an ideal candidate for serving with the Regent Chairperson of the Regents Review Committee in hearings and for making recommendations in professional misconduct proceedings. 

Recommendation

            It is recommended that the Board of Regents appoint Regent Emerita Laura Chodos as an Adjunct Member of the Regents Review Committee.

Timetable for Implementation

            The term of service for the recommended appointment of Regent Emerita Chodos would begin on September 13, 2010 and end on December 31, 2012.
