Southeast Community College Board Of Governors Regular Meeting
The meeting addressed several agenda items, including the approval of the agenda, bills and claims, and personnel changes. Key discussions involved the unaudited financial report ending November 30, 2025, which showed an expenditure rate of 41.1% against the budget. Nebraska Public Power District representatives presented scholarship awards totaling $15,000. Board team reports covered setting the meeting agenda, reviewing reimbursement policies, adopting an anti-discrimination policy, and discussing the organizational chart restructure, which aims to reduce the number of direct reports to the President from over 13 to 10 primary divisions. The President reported on enrollment increases, finalized COPS financing, the positive review from the HLC site visit, and ongoing fundraising efforts. The Student Activities Report detailed campus activities, including clothing drives and elections. An administrative presentation demonstrated the use of virtual and augmented reality applications, specifically the Bodyswaps platform, for soft skills training in the Office Professional Program. Finally, the Board approved new academic programs for 2026-2027, noting that instructor workload management would be handled via credit hour compensation or the addition of adjunct faculty.
