February 15, 2017
Baylor Board of Regents Chairman Ron Murff
Statement Re: Interest in Governance Issues

“More than anyone, the Baylor Board of Regents understands how much passion and debate surround the recent discussion of governance and transparency at Baylor. We have witnessed this in person, as we have heard the concerns of the Baylor Family and solicited their suggestions.

“We understand the need for continuous improvement. That's why on Friday, the Board will consider the adoption of a slate of previously publicized recommendations that address how the Board does its business and what it shares with the public.

“I am confident these proposed changes from an independent governance review task force will incorporate best practices in Board governance. We have already implemented one of the recommended changes – a new Regents website that includes bios, meeting materials and a way to provide direct feedback to the Board.

“As we continue to refine Baylor's governance policies and procedures, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this often-spirited conversation. As the Baylor Family, we all want what's best for the University we love.”
