1. Bedford announced his intention to resign as the Vine Cliuuctfiror. once the a**^?*,.
interim chancellor has been appointed
2. There was a general discussion concerning the issues involving Mark Shulman’s
stepping down.
3. Jim Craiglow came in to discuss what he would like to accomplish as the interim
chancellor, in particular, financial health and stability. Jeff Kasch asked what he
(Craiglow) would like from the BOT. The reply was “sincere engagement when
asked and offered.” Craiglow went on to say that he hoped the ULC could
perform so that the BOT can stay out of the ULC’s business. He needs our
expertise, more BOT members and all our resources. He wants to work with the
BOT to make the BOT less college-centric. To balance the voices of all the
campuses, to make the BOT university-centric. He also wants to work with Joan
Straumanis to help her to understand the university. Craiglow stated that the BOT
should not run interference for the college. The President of the college reports to
the Chancellor. Jeff Kasch further asked for an honest accounting of how the
model works. If so, why? If not. why not? Dan Kaplan moved that we authorize
the BOT chair, in consultation with the fcJfcC to negotiate a 15 month contract
with Jim Craiglow to be interim Chancellor. PASSED

4. Report from the Trusteeship Committee; Jack Merselis reported that the
Trusteeship Committee had two proposals to bring forward: one was that the
Trusteeship committee puts forward the nomination of Dan Kaplan for a sense of
the Board vote ayhis meeting. The’vote for that nomination was 5-0-2. The board
^vould then-safefikrife vote at the annual June meeting of the board. Merselis also
“brought forward from the Trusteeship Committee a proposal for a slate of
officers. Dan Kaplan as chair, Barbara Winslow as vice-chair, the secretary and
the treasurer. That motion passed in the Trusteeship committee 4-3. There was a
great deal of discussion about process. The reason for the sense of the Board vote
at this meeting was due to the fact that there was some strong opposition Lo
Kaplan, some other ideas about shared governance, and that if the Tmstecship ..
Committee’s motion to put Kaplan’s name forward as the nominee fails in the
BOT meeting, the Trusteeship Committee must go back and continue its work.’
Jessica Lipnack nominated that the chairs of all the major committees constitute a
seir governing BOT leadership. The motion was seconded. Sherwood Guernsey
nominated Jim McDonald. The nomination was seconded. Kaplan made a
statement about why he wished to serve as BOT chair, and what he thought he
could bring as chair. Jim McDonald thanked Guernsey for his nomination, but
declined. Other people who had been mentioned for election as BOT chair:
Harris, Zucker, Kasch, Bedford, McDonald, Lipnack declined to run. Because
Harris is an ex-officio member of the BOT he is ineligible. The discussion on
process included whether or not there had been sufficient discussion about
electing a BOT chair as well as ways in which to plan to BOT succession.
The result of the sense of the BOT vote:
Kaplan 11
Committee Chair Shared Governance 2
Abstain 2
Not voting 1
After the BOT chair vote there was a discussion regarding the idea of a slate. The BOT
voted 9-7 to vote on a slate at the June meeting.
Bob Krinsky announced that he had put Bill Hooper on the EC.
Jack Merselis put forward the Trusteeship Committee candidates for the at-large member
of the Executive Committee: The vote was Deming 10, Kasch 4, Zucker 1,1 not voting.
5. Bob Devine’s contract: There was a discussion about paying Devine the full
amount he requested, paying him Lhe equivalent salary of the highest paid faculty
member at die time. It was moved and seconded to pay Devine what he requested.
^ . j~t j PASSED, 10 yes, 5 no. There was a sense of the BOT resolution to outline
jj^M^f/ f: Devine’s role and expectations as a member of the faculty.

Minutes of the Executive Committee which met right after the closed session of
the BOT
Present: Bedford, Deming, Hooper, Kaplan, Krinsky, Lovelace, McDonald,
Merselis, Winslow
The EC decided that since the majority of the committee could not meet in Yellow
Springs on either the 7th or 8th, and that since the full Board would be meeting in
October, we would not meet in Yellow Springs on the 7th or 8th after all. The date and
times of the next EC meeting will be determined.
