Regents take no action on university jobs issue
Monday, July 11, 2005 | 9:18 a.m.
Despite coming to a general consensus that the Board of Regents needed to ban its members from applying for university system jobs while in office, regents attending a board development committee on Friday took no action to put the proposal in place.
Instead, regents agreed that the ethics code should be discussed by the full board at a board development workshop tentatively planned for late October.
The only change the committee voted on was to update the system's name from University and Community College System of Nevada to Nevada System of Higher Education throughout the document.
The workshop is tentatively scheduled to run from noon Oct. 20 to noon Oct. 21, and board staff are looking at facilities in Las Vegas, Mesquite and Primm. In addition to reviewing the code, regents will be discussing conflict resolution, and the relationships between board members, the board chairman and the chancellor.
Several regents pushed for a mandatory cooling-off period after leaving office before a regent may take a job within the system after Regent Doug Seastrand resigned in May to take a job in homeland security at UNLV.
But while regents were in general agreed on that ban, they nixed Regent Mark Alden's suggestion that regents also be banned from running for other public office.
