Section 610:1-7-7 - Committee meetings or study sessions

(a) State Regents' study sessions may be held on call by the Chairman. Committee meetings will generally be held two weeks before the regular meeting.

(b) State Regents' committees are non-action groups and as such are not subject to the provisions of the Open Meeting Act. [25 O.S., §301 et seq.] Although provisions of the Open Meeting Act apply to "all committees or subcommittees of any public body," [25 O.S., §304] the Act's coverage has nevertheless been judicially constrained to committees or subcommittees which exercise some power normally vested with the larger group.

(c) All Regents will be notified of committee meetings. Noncommittee members electing to attend the meetings must take the responsibility for notifying the Chancellor's Office no later than 48 hours in advance of the meeting in order that proper notice and posting requirements can be met under the Open Meeting Act. In the event that five or more Regents are present for the committee meeting without the accomplishment of proper notice and posting requirements, the committee chairman will be authorized to reduce the number of Regents in attendance to a number that will not violate the Open Meeting Act.
