“The Board encourages public comment on matters that appear on this agenda. Requests to provide in-person comments (including virtual appearances) must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting by emailing the Secretary to the Board at Pamela.Heleen@ct.edu.
Each speaker must specify the subject of their comments. A confirmation email with instructions to access the meeting will be forwarded the day before the meeting. In fairness to all who wish to address the Board, each speaker must abide by a three-minute time limit. At the end of each speaker’s allotted time, the speaker will be asked to yield to the next speaker.
Presenters will be prioritized based on the agenda of the meeting. First, the Regents will hear comments on action items before them; students will speak first, followed by the public, faculty, and staff. If time remains within the 30 minutes allocated to public comment, general presentations will be heard first from students followed by the public, faculty, and staff. Supplemental information may be provided in written form for distribution to the Regents. Again, should time not be sufficient to accommodate all speakers, written submissions are encouraged.”
