Summary
The Board of Regents approved Resolution 25-14 on Aug. 19, 2025, to authorize public artworks for the Lucio C.

The University of Guam Board of Regents unanimously approved Resolution 25-14 on Aug. 19, 2025, authorizing public art projects for the Lucio C. Tan Student Success Center and the School of Engineering.
The motion, introduced by Regent Gudgela during the board's special meeting, said the selected works comply with the Arts in Public Buildings and Facilities law as codified in 1 GCA A7 850 and reflect the cultural and artistic objectives described in subsection A7 851. The board voted to bring the resolution to the floor and approve it; the transcript records the motion passing unanimously.
The board heard a report from the Physical Facilities Committee that met earlier the same day, Aug. 19, 2025, at 1 p.m. in the UOG President's Conference Room and via Zoom. The committee reviewed proposals and recommended selected artists, all identified as Guam local artists registered with Kaha. According to the committee report, a listing of selected artists and titles of their work was shared with the Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency (CAHA) "as a professional courtesy and to confirm that the selected artists meet the Guam local artist designation under the statute," the report said.
Regent Gudgela moved to bring Resolution 25-14 to the full board for approval. The motion was seconded (second not specified in the meeting record) and, after no discussion was recorded, the board chair called for a vote. The motion passed unanimously. The board did not record a roll-call vote or individual tallies in the transcript.
Meeting materials or the resolution text specifying artists' names, artwork titles, or budgetary amounts were not provided in the public portion of the transcript. The committee report and motion indicated only that selected artists are Guam local artists registered with Kaha and that CAHA received the listing for confirmation of the local-artist designation.
The special meeting was called to order at 2:04 p.m. and adjourned at 2:07 p.m.
