Ohio Administrative Code
Title 3358:5 - Clark State College
Chapter 3358:5-1 - College Mission, Vision and Principles; Board Responsibilities
Section 3358:5-1-12 - Board governing style
Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3358:5-1-12
Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A) The board will be actively involved in the governance of the college, being proactive rather than reactive, staying adequately informed on relevant issues, and approaching its task with a style which emphasizes outward vision rather than an internal preoccupation, encouragement of diversity in viewpoints, strategic leadership more than administrative detail, clear distinction of board and president roles, collective rather than individual decisions, and future rather than past or present thinking.
(B) More specifically, the board will:
(1)
Operate in all
ways mindful of its civic trusteeship obligation to the citizens of its
district.
(2)
Enforce upon itself whatever discipline is needed to
govern with excellence. Discipline will apply to matters such as attendance,
policy-making principles, respect of roles, speaking with one voice, and
adherence to ethical practices.
(3)
Keep adequately
informed about relevant global and local educational and other issues, actively
gathering information to fulfill this role.
(4)
Direct, control
and inspire the organization through the careful establishment of the broadest
organizational values and perspectives through written
policies.
(5)
Focus chiefly on intended long-term impacts on the
world outside the organization (ends), not on the administrative or
programmatic means of attaining those effects.
(6)
Be an initiator
of policy, not merely a reactor to staff initiatives. The board, not the staff,
will be responsible for board performance.
(7)
Use the expertise
of individual members to enhance the ability of the board as a body, rather
than to substitute their individual values for the group's
values.
(8)
Monitor and discuss the board's own process and
performance. Within this context, the board commits to the continuous
improvement of its governing processes and for the growth and development of
each trustee.
