Regarding The Board Of Trustees...

[Bill Orange]

There has been much mis-information posted here regarding the responsibility of a university board of trustees ... or for that matter, the board of directors/trustees of any organization.

The Board of Trustees has nothing to do with the day-to-day management of the athletic department, just as they have nothing to do with the day-to-day management of Newhouse or Maxwell. Their major responsibility is to select a chancellor and have fiduciary responsibility for the university. They participate in search committees for the chancellor and the deans of the various schools and dean equivalents, and they approve the hiring of deans and dean equivalents.

They confer tenure and adopt an annual budget. They are also expected to make significant financial contributions to the school...either to the general fund or for specific purposes ... e.g., individual schools or specific building projects. The administration comes to the board with proposals for building projectsalong with their proposed funding.

They don't determine anyone's salary except for the chancellor's. The rest of the salaries are determined by the management of their respective departments, as it is done in all organizations.

Please keep in mind that SU is an academic institution, and all decisions regarding the university are made in that context.

Well they should break protocol and do whatever they can to keep marrone.

they do approve expenditures, correct?

let us not pretend they have no impact on the AD

 

[orangeinohio]

At least some of the members of the BoT were involved in his hiring, weren't they?

 

[Cuse2010]

And they would be involved with facility upgrades no?

 

[Jeepers]

Fiduciary responsibility doesn't include the athletics department?

 

[shandeezy7]

And they would be involved with facility upgrades no?

Yep, as the board would ultimately approve capital expenditures made by the University

 

[chakka3421]

Ok I cannot sit back on this one. Answer these questions please.

Isn't a BoT, of any organization for that matter, responsible for the strategic direction of the University and its major divisions whether that be Newhouse, Maxwell and yes - the friggen athletic department.

Isn't the strategic direction of moving to the ACC - the major revenue driver in the move being football - the proven successful HC who happens to be currently interviewing for the NFL - and you mean to tell us the BoT is not involved? Now I wonder what in the good Lords name what the hell is going on!

PLEASE do not go down this path...or things are far worse than I could ever imagine...

 

[Doctor44]

And they would be involved with facility upgrades no?

Point being - couldn't they be a major road block if they keep shutting down ideas for football renovations and keep diverting funds away from major upgrades?

 

[All4SU]

Apparently they do get involved in firing football coaches.

 

[anomander]

it's almost like this football program is being discussed as its an intramural sport, and not a program that is and could potentially be driving tens of millions of dollars. at this point it doesn't matter who, but someone, somewhere along the way dropped the ball big time. If it's the AD, who is responsible for running the dept., or whoever is in control of setting up, and running an efficient and effect donor program. Either way a huge potential money maker seems to be on shaky ground.

The BOT has a great deal of influence on many issues including the status of the HC.

Can you put that in a smaller font, thanks!

Paraphrasing

Cantor to TGD at bowl game

"He is embarrassing us. Get rid of him"

And so it was done.

[Nick44]

Now Cantor should say-

"We are embarrassing ourselves. Find a way to keep him."
