The Faculty Senate voted no confidence in President Nolte earlier this month, in protest of his sweeping re-organization of the college instructional structure.  The vote came after several public meetings in which large numbers of the faculty came out to denounce the changes.  President Nolte began the reorganization nearly two years ago, with appointing six deans to oversee faculty in instruction, instead of having department chairs.  There were also changes in class meeting times, and lab schedules.

A controversial expansion of the Blinn College campus in Brazos County will also  be taken up again in the  closed session Monday evening

The Board will be hearing about several land acquisitions during the meeting on the Brenham campus.  The chief concern however, is the 53.8 acres of land in the 2500 block of the Earl Rudder Freeway in College Station.  Neighbors had complained that expanding the campus there would bring noise, traffic congestion and cheapen property values with property owners renting out residences for student housing.   A petition was presented to the Board during their last meeting.

The Board will also discuss and consider a potential donation of property in the 14,500 block of Old Reliance Road in Brazos County.

The Blinn College Board meets Monday at 6:30 at the Blinn College Administration  building on the Brenham campus.
