Board approves agenda, minutes and consent items; moves to executive session on collective bargaining

During routine business the Board of Regents approved the meeting agenda, approved minutes from December meetings and approved the consent agenda (one item). The transcript records motions and seconding comments and 'Aye' votes recorded for each approval; the transcript does not provide a full roll‑call tally or name each mover and seconder on the record.

Later in the meeting the chair moved that the board enter executive session "in accordance with 1‑200 subsection 6(e) of the general statutes to discuss a preliminary draft related to board affairs and strategy and negotiations with respect to collective bargaining." The motion passed; the board paused live streaming and the chair stated no votes would be taken during the executive session. The transcript lists system office staff and legal counsel invited to attend the closed session, including Interim Chancellor John Maduco, General Counsel Karen Bufkin, CFO Lloyd Blanchard, vice chancellor for external affairs Adam Joseph, assistant vice chancellor of human resources and labor relations Jennifer Person, labor counsel Chris Engler, and director of labor relations Marilyn Albrecht, and invited system office staff Danny Nilo.

The meeting record shows the board reconvened briefly only to adjourn after the closed session; no public votes or actions were taken in the executive session as recorded.
