Votes at a glance: Board approves tuition and fees, debt-policy certification, faculty tenure and new clinical-psychology master's
Summary
At its meeting the Radford University Board of Visitors certified compliance with its debt policy, approved the proposed 2025–26 tuition and fees, granted tenure for 13 faculty, and approved a new Master of Science in clinical psychology. All actions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The Radford University Board of Visitors approved several formal actions during the meeting, including certification of debt policy compliance, adoption of proposed 2025–26 tuition and fees, approval of faculty tenure recommendations and authorization of a new Master of Science in clinical psychology.
Business Affairs and Audit Committee chair Betty Jo Foster reported that the university remains well below the allowable 7 percent debt-burden ratio and recommended the board certify compliance with the debt management policy. The board adopted that certification by voice vote.
The board also approved a resolution presented by the Business Affairs and Audit Committee to set proposed tuition and fees for the 2025–26 academic year beginning with the fall 2025 semester.
Jeanne Armentrout, chair of the Academic Excellence and Student Success Committee, presented two academic items for board action: approval of tenure for 13 faculty members and approval of a new Master of Science in clinical psychology. Both motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Votes and outcomes in brief:
- Certification of compliance with the university debt management policy: approved (voice vote; committee recommended).
- Proposed 2025–26 tuition and fees: approved (voice vote; committee recommended).
- Tenure approvals for 13 faculty members: approved (voice vote).
- Approval of a new Master of Science in clinical psychology: approved (voice vote).
Why it matters: The actions affect the university’s finance plan, academic offerings and faculty careers. The tuition-and-fees approval sets the pricing framework for fall 2025; the new clinical-psychology master’s represents an addition to graduate academic capacity and the tenure approvals finalize personnel decisions brought forward by faculty and administration.
