A Message from the Board of Regents:
Regarding the June 19, 2007 meeting

The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents will meet for its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, June 19.

We will not be prepared to consider, take or announce any significant personnel actions at that time. The Board must be fully informed not only by the Butzel Long investigation which was completed June 8, but also by findings and directives expected in a report by the U.S. Department of Education, which has not yet been delivered. We will, however, on Tuesday, set in motion a process for undertaking personnel and other matters soon after it arrives.

As promised, we began our deliberations immediately after the release of the report June 8. That process continues while we await the findings from the Department of Education.

After receiving the Department of Education report, we will schedule a special session of the Board to consider and make decisions regarding university personnel involved in EMU’s handling of the information relating to the tragic death of Laura Dickinson.

Consistent with our position in this matter from the onset of the investigation, we will not discuss these sensitive topics in the media until we are ready to take action, but we will be fully prepared to inform the public and the media when we have news to report.
