John Moore, Jr. (Ret), Chair; Stephen Daley, Stephanie Imhoff, Daniel Keller, David Levey, Megan Newlove, Abby Priehs, William Primrose III, Skyler Rogers, Debra Ryan, and Fran Voll.

Also present: Carol Cartwright, President; Patrick Pauken, Secretary to the Board; Kenneth Borland, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost; Albert Colom, Vice President for Enrollment Management; Sean FitzGerald, Vice President for Legal Affairs and Governmental Relations; Sherideen Stoll, Vice President for Finance and Administration; Edward Whipple, Vice President for Student Affairs; Rebecca Ferguson, Chief Human Resources Officer; Dave Kielmeyer, Interim Chief Communications Officer; media representatives; and a number of observers.

Col. Moore called the meeting to order at 10:58 a.m. The Board Secretary called the roll and announced that a quorum was present (nine trustees). Before moving on to the President’s Report, Chair Moore welcomed new Trustee Mr. Daniel Keller as well as welcomed back student trustee Mr. Skyler Rogers.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Dr. Cartwright addressed the Board for the final time as BGSU President. She took the opportunity to use the time in a different way. At prior meetings, she spoke mostly about what and who – what is newsworthy and who made it happen. This meeting was spent focusing on why. It was especially timely as the Board considered recommendations for the FY12 BGSU operating budget. We’ve worked very diligently as a senior leadership team to make budget recommendations that are closely aligned with mission and priorities – in effect – to match funding choices with our fundamental purposes. But, we do not exist independently. We are a part of the public university system of Ohio – and it is that public mission that drives us in our planning and our daily work. Dr. Cartwright ended her remarks with the following:

As you know, I’ve devoted all of the 45 years of my professional life to public higher education. As a first generation college student who worked her way through college, I benefitted – as an individual – from a state’s investment in public higher education. It put a college education within my reach and allowed me to achieve more than I ever dreamed. I hope you will agree that my personal commitment to work in public higher education has also created benefits beyond those that are personal. The genius of the American model of public investment in public higher education is that we deliver a broad array of benefits for our citizens and our state. Individuals benefit and so does the state – that is the public good.

And those outcomes are well documented: College grads earn more, have better job opportunities, and are less likely to be unemployed.

I’ve been driven by the other part of the benefits by those that benefit the broader society: Higher incomes of college grads mean more taxes are paid at local, state and federal levels, less reliance on public assistance programs, more likely to be engaged – to participate in democratic society – by voting voluntarily and contributing in other ways.

We also drive economic development for industry and for our communities and the entire state, Ohio’s ability to thrive in global economy depends on University success in developing human capital needed by job attraction and on continued collaborations on resources that creates new knowledge, commercialized new technology and position Ohio as an innovation leader.

We should all care about assuring that these societal benefits are sustained and strengthened. As I retire, my advocacy will shift from that of a university president to active support for continued public investment as a citizen. Protecting the public benefits should matter to all Ohioans.

Thank you – Trustees for your on-going commitment to make the case.

Thank you for the privilege of serving BGSU.
