Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee will meet with the University’s Transition Advisory Team during its fourth meeting from 5 to 9:30 p.m. tonight in the Lod Cook Alumni Center’s Abell Board Room. The meeting will begin at 4 p.m., and Gee’s visit will be abbreviated due to inclement weather that could affect his flights in and out of Baton Rouge. The Transition Advisory Team’s 10 members also serve as chairs of five subcommittees and a Legal and Regulatory Advisory Team, all of which are working together to develop a concept for the LSU System reorganization. Gee is just one of multiple higher education experts who has provided the Team with reorganization guidance. Currently serving as president of Ohio State, Gee is the University’s chief executive officer and oversees the University’s six campuses, 65,000 students and 48,000 faculty and staff members. Gee is considered a highly experienced and respected higher education authority, and he was named one of the top 10 university presidents in the country in 2009 by Time magazine. Gee served as president of Ohio State from 1990 to 1998 and began his second term in 2007. He also led Vanderbilt University from 2001 to 2007, Brown University from 1998 to 2000, the University of Colorado from 1985 to 1990 and West Virginia University from 1981 to 1985. The meeting will include subcommittee updates and a presentation from SSA Consultant Christel Slaughter on what the next steps of the reorganization process will be. The Team will submit its preliminary concept to the Board of Supervisors at its March 18 meeting, and the final concept will be submitted to the Board for approval this summer. The meeting will be streamed online at lsu.edu/tat.

Students still want TAT representation Staff Writer

The Transition Advisory Team’s subcommittees held their kickoff meetings over the last couple of weeks, and while students on the subcommittees say they feel their voices are being heard, some say there should still be student representation on the Advisory Team.
