Regents governance committee approves minutes, adopts NIST cybersecurity framework and recesses to executive session
Summary
At a governance committee meeting, members approved minutes, endorsed a staff conflict-disclosure recommendation, voted to adopt the NIST cybersecurity framework for regional institutions and authorized an executive session to discuss CEO compensation.
The Board of Regents governance committee approved the meeting minutes, adopted a staff recommendation on a conflict-disclosure form, voted to adopt the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework for regional institutions, and voted to recess into an executive session to discuss CEO compensation.
The committee approved the minutes by voice vote at the start of the meeting. Committee members also accepted a staff recommendation that a named employee remain cognizant of the board’s conflict-of-interest reporting obligations; the committee chair recorded a qualifying majority and later noted “at least a 5 vote going into this afternoon.”
Committee members voted to adopt the NIST cybersecurity framework, described in the staff materials as the basis for current institution-level cybersecurity audits and future tailored security practices. Staff told the committee the framework covers identifying, protecting, detecting, responding and recovering from incidents, and that institutions will likely return to the committee when updated versions of the standards are released.
Later in the session a member moved that the governance committee recess into executive session to discuss personnel matters related to CEO compensation. The motion named participants to be included in the closed session: members of the Regents governance committee, General Counsel John Yeary, Director of Finance and Administration Becky Potabong, and representatives of CPIS Benefits and Insurance Services Inc. The mover specified the session would last approximately 60 minutes and that the open meeting would resume at 09:50 PM.
No detailed roll-call vote record with individual member names was provided in the public transcript for the minutes approval, the NIST adoption or the conflict-disclosure recommendation; the meeting record shows voice votes and affirmative responses but does not list individual yes/no tallies for every motion.
The committee indicated it will continue to follow up on matters discussed in open session and will reconvene after the scheduled executive session.
