ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM: 5.J

DATE: February 26, 2013

******************************************************************************

SUBJECT: Inactive International Exchange/Partnership Agreements

During the January AAC meeting the Council had a brief discussion about the agreements that exist between the system’s institutions and international partners. Board staff noted that a review of the annual report to the Board summarizing these agreements shows there are a number of these that were signed more than a decade ago and which have shown no activity for years. The campuses were asked to review existing agreements and to report to those that are inactive which could be terminated. A set of these reports are attached.

The Council should consider steps to be taken with this set. Staff recommends that these be considered for termination by the Board. However, before they are terminated, it probably makes sense to do a cursory check by reviewing web sites or other publications to see if these are still recognized by the partner institution. If so, steps should be taken to review these collectively before action is taken. However, at the end of this review, it is recommended that these should be forwarded to the Board for unilateral deactivation. It may make sense to tie this to annual report that goes to the Board in June.

Members of the Council should be prepared to discuss this strategy and to agree upon a timeline for this process.
