Texas Tech System regents approve Nov. 14–15, 2024 minutes and consent agenda; Regent Cash abstains on item J

The Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System voted to approve the minutes of the board meeting held Nov. 14–15, 2024 and to adopt the consent agenda, items A through R, at its open meeting. A separate abstention was recorded: Regent Cash said on the record that they had a conflict and would abstain from discussing and voting on item J of the consent agenda.

The motions were made and seconded on the floor and taken by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the public proceedings; the chair announced the motions passed. The board also acknowledged review of the information agenda listed in the meeting materials. The committee of the whole then concluded its consideration of those items.

The approvals are procedural: consenting to routine institutional and administrative items listed in the agenda book. Regent Cash’s stated conflict was limited to item J; the board proceeded to act on the remainder of the consent agenda with the abstention noted and without further recorded objection.

Following the consent vote, the board’s schedule for the remainder of 2025 was summarized: regular meetings in May and August in Lubbock and a Nov. 13–14 meeting, with 2026 dates to be considered at the May meeting. The chair also noted a possible special-called meeting pending gubernatorial appointments to the board.
