(A) Policy statement and purpose
This policy is to provide a clear line for the delegation of
executive management in the absence of the president of
the Bowling Green state university and when
other members of the president's cabinet are absent from the campuses. This policy also addresses the limitations for
cabinet members traveling together.
(B) Policy succession
(1) The president is at all times responsible
for the management of the university. This policy recognizes there may be
occasions when the president cannot be reached in an emergency or is otherwise
unavailable such as, for example, when traveling to a place with unreliable
communications. When the president is unavailable the provost
and senior vice president for academic affairs and
student affairs shall assume responsibility for the management of the
university.
(2) If the provost
and senior vice president for academic and student
affairs is unavailable then the chief financial officer and vice
president for finance and administration ("CFO") will assume management
responsibilities.
(3) In absence of
the president, the provost, and the CFO, the order of succession shall devolve
upon the following members of the president's cabinet:
(a) Vice president for partnerships and
senior advisor to the president
(b)
Vice president for university advancement
(4) The president, or designee, will notify
the executive council, and at appropriate times, cabinet, in advance of the
dates when he/she is unavailable. Members of the cabinet are responsible for keeping appropriate
university officials informed of their availability.
(5) The senior administrators listed above
are encouraged to avoid traveling together due to the potential disruptive
impact to university leadership in the event of an accident.
Under no circumstances will more than two of the senior
administrators listed above be permitted to travel together in the same
airplane, automobile, train, or bus.
(C)
