The Regent Candidate Advisory Council (RCAC) met on June 11, 1999 from 4 p.m.
to 5 p.m.
Minutes
The minutes of the meetings held January 21, 22, 25 and 26, 1999 were
approved as circulated.
Report of the Chair
Humphrey Doermann reported that the two legislative proposals affecting RCAC
(an incumbent-Regent bypass provision and the proposal to establish a task force
to consider Regent candidate recruitment) finally were not enacted when the
Conference Committee to consider the Higher Education Finance Bill decided not
to include these amendments in the final bill. Doermann noted that the Speaker
of the House needs to make four appointments of members of RCAC. Bob Vanasek
reported that the Speaker’s Office intends to act soon.
Doermann thanked the members of the Council, the staff, the appointing
authorities and their staffs, and staff and volunteers of the University of
Minnesota Alumni Association for their help during the past two year selection
cycle.
Nominating Committee
Mary McLeod, chair of the Nominating Committee, moved election of the
following slate of Council officers, to serve until June 2001:
Chair: Nedra M. Wicks
Vice-Chair: Billie Young
Vice Chair: Kenneth J. Albrecht
The slate was elected unanimously. Wicks and others thanked Doermann for his
service as Chair the past two years. McLeod and Wicks suggested that self
evaluation efforts of the Council should include asking knowledgeable observers
to meet with the Council this coming fall. The Council agreed to all these
suggestions.
Absences
Doermann noted that the statute which authorizes creation of the Council
requires that if a member fails to attend three consecutive meetings of the
Council, his or her identity be reported to the appointing authority (Speaker of
the House or Senate Majority Leader). The Council asked Doermann to do this in
1997, and he did so, at the same time reporting the wishes for the future of
those persons who had been absent (wishes as to remaining on the Council or
leaving it). Nedra Wicks was asked to go through this reporting process again,
and agreed to do so.
Fall Meeting Date
After discussion, Council members agreed to hold open two Friday afternoons,
one of which probably will be chosen as the fall 1999 meeting date of the
Council. These dates are 1 p.m. October 8th, and 1 p.m. October 15th.
