Is it legal to ask certain people to leave when the board goes into executive session?
If you would like to know more about how Parliamentarian Procedure from Little Ben, click here for my DVD called How To Run A Meeting.
This is a independent non-profit college. At each board meeting there is an agenda item to break into executive session. We have three (3) individuals that are employees of the college that sit on the board. Two (2) faculty members and the President of the college. Recently their was a delicate personnel issue that involved the President. Is it appropriate or even according the rules to ask the faculty members and President to leave the meeting because of the sensitive nature of the discussion?
Dear Larry,
This is a good question. But is sounds like a good one for your attorney.
