Ohio Admin. Code 3358:5-1-12 - Board governing style
(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.
