Regents move to executive session under Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-206; no votes expected
Summary
The Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Board of Regents voted to go into executive session to consider matters under Connecticut General Statute §1-206, saying no votes would be taken in the closed session and the only action afterward would be adjournment.
The Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Board of Regents voted during its open meeting to move into executive session to discuss matters under Connecticut General Statute section 1-206, and the board said no votes would be taken in the closed session and the only action afterward would be a declaration of adjournment by the chair.
Chair Guell, chair of the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Board of Regents, announced that the board would “move into executive session for the purpose of discussing matters under Connecticut General Statute section 1 dash 206” and that “no votes will be taken in executive session.” He added that “there will be no discussion, action, or votes by the board following executive session. The only action following executive session will be a declaration of adjournment by the chair.”
The board first established a quorum and adopted the meeting agenda before the chair called for the motion to enter executive session. Chair Guell identified several officials who were asked to join the Regents in the closed session, naming Chancellor Chang; President Toro; President Maduco; Jessica Paquette; Karen Bufkin; Danielaello; Adam Joseph; Lloyd Blanchard; Jen Person; Cameron Lisson; Tom Yellek; Sal Centurino; and board secretary Pam Hulline. After the motion was called, the chair announced, “The motion carries; the open portion of our meeting [is] concluded.” The public recording of the meeting was then stopped.
The board did not specify on the public record the particular subject matter contemplated under Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-206, and no votes or further public actions were taken or recorded in the open session. The meeting record shows the open portion ended at the chair’s declaration and the recording was stopped; the transcript does not include the executive-session discussion or any subsequent public actions beyond adjournment.
The action is recorded in the meeting minutes as the board moving into executive session under Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-206; additional details about the closed-session discussion were not included in the public transcript available for this report.
