Attached is a copy of the meeting schedule of the Board of Trustees and its committees for fiscal year 2020-2021.

To provide the Board sufficient time to consider proposed actions, and to permit review and approval by the President, all materials relating to any matter that will be presented to the Board or any of its committees for action or information must be submitted to the Office of the Secretary at least three weeks prior to the scheduled committee or Board meeting at which it will be considered. You should provide additional time if the matter is other than routine.

PROPOSED ACTION ITEMS AND REPORTS FOR INFORMATION RECEIVED LESS THAN THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO A SCHEDULED MEETING WILL NOT BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THAT MEETING, BUT WILL BE DEFERRED TO A SUBSEQUENT MEETING.

For action items, the materials delivered to the Secretary should include (1) a draft recommendation for action in standard format, (2) an outline or narrative identifying the individuals, groups and entities that have participated in the preparation of the item, (3) the budgetary authority and impact, and (4) such other detailed background information and materials as appropriate for fully-informed consideration and approval by the President and the Board.  Please contact the Office of the Secretary at secretary1@temple.edu.

For information items, all background documents and presentation materials along with the identity of the individual(s) who will present the matter to the Board, must be included in the materials submitted to the Office of the Secretary.

These deadlines are established to provide the President with time to review the matter, consult with others as he deems appropriate, and determine whether or not the matter will be presented to the Board committee or Board as requested. 

The University’s Bylaws outline the powers and authority of the Board and its various standing committees.  While you may have general familiarity with matters requiring Board approval within your area of responsibility, the pertinent sections of the Bylaws are attached for easy reference.  If you have any questions as to whether a particular action requires Board approval, please feel free to call the Office of the Secretary.

If you are involved in preparing a matter within the jurisdiction of a Board committee that does not have scheduled meeting dates, but instead is listed as meeting at the "Call of Chair," please understand that a meeting cannot be scheduled until at least two weeks after you have delivered all pertinent materials to the Office of the Secretary.

The submission deadlines will be strictly enforced.
