Rule 3354:1-30-04 | Board student scholar policy.
(A) Purpose. Each year, the board of trustees will have a board student scholar. The board student scholar is intended to help the board receive perspectives and other information from students about their needs, suggestions, and concerns. The role is also to provide board student scholars with a learning opportunity related to organizational governance and leadership. The board student scholar is not a trustee, has no voting rights, and does not participate in decision-making or executive sessions.
(B) Duties. The board student scholar will attend the following meetings and events: meetings of the board of trustees and its academic and student affairs committee, student retreats, college leadership development classes, student government meetings, and joint student council meetings. Subject to college policies relating to procurement and expense reimbursement, the college will cover costs associated with the board student scholar's participation in these meetings. During joint student council meetings, the board student scholar will gather issues from the four campuses relevant for board discussion. The board student scholar will have opportunities to present such issues to the board or its committees.
(C) Selection and criteria. The board student scholar will be selected by the joint student council during the spring semester. Students must be 18 years or older to be selected as a board student scholar representing the student body. Each year, the board student scholar will be chosen from the Eastern, Metropolitan, Western, or Westshore campus student body on a rotating basis. The board student scholar must be and remain currently enrolled, and have and maintain at least a 2.50 grade point average. If a board student scholar loses such status, he or she will be removed by the college, in which event the joint student council must select a replacement from the same campus for the remainder of the academic year. The board student scholar will serve a term of one academic year and may not serve multiple terms. The board student scholar must have successfully completed at least twenty semester credit hours or its equivalent by the beginning of his/her term as board student scholar with no maximum accumulated credit hours each semester. The board student scholar must be enrolled in at least eight credit hours each semester, and have at least one year of student leadership experience at Cuyahoga Community college. Except for work-study students, the board student scholar may not be an employee of the college.
(D) Implementation. The president or the president's designee is hereby directed to take all steps necessary and appropriate for the effective implementation of this policy.
