TEXT OF PRESIDENT McCORMICK'S SEPTEMBER 18, 2008 RESPONSE TO THE REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS ON CHARGE S-0708, STUDENT CHARTER TRUSTEE NOMINATIONS AND
ELECTIONS:
My administration is pleased to take these recommendations under advisement. The
Office of the Secretary of the University has undertaken a review of student
participation on the Boards of other universities, and the Rutgers Office of
Legal Counsel has been asked to determine the relevance of these
recommendations to the broader issues of university governance and their
compliance with state law. When these internal analyses have been completed we
will determine whether to advance these recommendations to the appropriate Board
committees for review.
Sincerely yours,
c:
Jon Alger, Vice President and General Counsel
Leslie Fehrenbach, Secretary of the University
