2. Let the board be unaware of relevant trends, anticipated adverse media coverage, claims of liability in excess of coverage limits, material external and internal changes, particularly changes in the assumptions upon which any board policy has previously been established.
3. Fail to provide a monthly written update on the issues above in addition to a presidential report and update as part of the Board of Trustees Meeting.
4. Fail to advise the board if, in the CEO’s opinion, the board is not in compliance with its own policies on Governance Process and Board-Staff Relationship, particularly in the case of board behavior which is detrimental to the working relationship between the board and the CEO.
5. Fail, upon the specific request of the Board, to marshal as many staff and external points of view, issues and options as needed for fully informed board choices.
6. Present information in unnecessarily complex or lengthy form.
7. Fail to provide a mechanism for official board, officer or committee communications.
8. Fail to deal with the Board as a whole except when (a) fulfilling individual requests for information which are not available through standard college reporting systems or (b) responding to officers or committees duly charged by the board.
9. Fail to report in a timely manner an actual or anticipated non-compliance with any policy of the Board.
