Advisory: Special Kent State University Board of Trustees Meeting

The Kent State University Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Wednesday, Aug. 8, for the purpose of ratifying a three-year, collective bargaining agreement between the university and full-time, tenure-track faculty, who are represented by the American Association of University Professors–Kent State Chapter.

The Board will convene at 10:30 a.m. at the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine, which is located at 6000 Rockside Woods Blvd. in Independence. The meeting will precede an 11 a.m. ribbon-tying event at the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine, which is being held to mark the recent joining of the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine with Kent State.

No committee meetings will be held and Trustees may retire into executive session during the meeting to consider specific topics as provided for under Ohio’s “Sunshine Law.”

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board is Wednesday, Sept. 12. The meeting will be held at the new, 44,000-square-foot Kent State University Regional Academic Center, which is located at 2745 Creekside Dr. in Twinsburg (accessible from I-480 off of Route 91).
