Montana Board of Regents convenes executive session; annual reviews noted, no public comment
Summary
On July 25, 2024, the Montana Board of Regents convened at 8:04 a.m., entered an executive session citing individual privacy, listed annual reviews for two university presidents and the commissioner, held an informal planning session, received no public comment and planned adjournment upon completion.
The Montana Board of Regents met July 25, 2024, convening at 8:04 a.m. and entering an executive session that the board said related to matters of individual privacy. Todd Buchanan, chair of the board, stated that the demands of individual privacy outweighed the merits of public disclosure.
The minutes list annual reviews for President Bodnar, President Cruzado and Commissioner Clayton T. Christian as agenda items. The publicly posted record does not include substantive details of those reviews; the entry appears on the agenda and in the minutes but the executive session itself was closed under the board's stated privacy rationale.
At 11:25 a.m. the board met in an informal Board of Regents planning session; the minutes note the planning meeting without further detail. The public comment period is recorded as having no speakers. The agenda also lists a 3:00 p.m. adjournment time "upon completion."
The minutes include signature lines for Clayton T. Christian, Commissioner of Higher Education and Secretary to the Board of Regents, and Todd Buchanan, Chair, Board of Regents, and a placeholder for the approval date; the approval date is not completed in the provided text.
No motions, roll-call vote tallies or other formal actions are recorded in the provided public minutes excerpt beyond the convening of an executive session and listing of agenda items. The minutes therefore record attendance, an executive session for privacy‑related matters, agenda items for annual reviews and an informal planning session, and that no public comment was received.
