Rule 3357:15-1-03 | Board job description.
The job of the board is to represent the public in determining and demanding appropriate organizational performance. To distinguish the board's own unique job from the jobs of its staff, the board will concentrate its efforts on the following responsibilities:
(A) Serving as the link between the college and political entities, the Ohio department of higher education and the public.
(B) Enacting written governing policies which, at the broadest levels, address:
(1) Governance process: specification of how the board conceives, carries out, and monitors its own tasks.
(2) Board-staff relationship: how power is delegated and its proper use monitored; the president's authority and accountability.
(3) Executive limitations: constraints on executive authority which establish the prudence and ethics boundaries within which all executive activity and decisions must take place.
(4) Ends: college services, impacts, benefits, outcomes, recipients, and their relative worth (what good for which needs at what cost). Ends include college mission, values, vision, goals, and priorities.
(C) Monitoring institutional performance and the president's performance (against board policies on "Ends" and executive limitations) and monitor the chairperson's performance (against board policies on governance process).
(D) Promoting a positive image for the college.
(E) Recommending appointments to the board.
