Summary

The Mission Fulfillment Committee approved the consent report, which included program changes (new and discontinued programs), conferral of tenure for two faculty members, and a mandated health‑sciences fund‑use report; the motion passed without recorded opposition.

The Mission Fulfillment Committee approved the consent report by voice vote after Provost Ritter summarized the items.

Ritter said the report included program approvals and discontinuations driven by data‑informed reviews (noting work underway in Duluth and across the system), the conferral of tenure on two faculty members, and a mandated report on appropriate fund use in the health sciences. She also noted that more program‑level recommendations would come forward as part of ongoing portfolio work.

A regent moved to approve the consent report and a second was called. Chair Johnson asked for ayes; the motion carried and the chair declared the consent report approved. No roll‑call vote tally with individual names was recorded in the transcript.

The committee proceeded to informational items after the consent motion passed.
