			 health care facilities on the campus proper. However, information regarding
			 proper emergency procedures is widely disseminated and students have an
			 opportunity to acquire a low-cost health insurance plan. The college has
			 therefore established the following:
(1)
									Standard
			 operating plan. A manual has been compiled to act as a guideline for any
			 emergency situation which might occur in or near Stark state college. The

			 group-insurance plan is available on a voluntary basis to provide
			 hospitalization insurance for students who desire this

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024

			 actively involved in the governance of the college, being proactive rather than
			 reactive, staying adequately informed on relevant issues, and approaching its

			 more than administrative detail, clear distinction of board and president
			 roles, collective rather than individual decisions, and future rather than past
			 or present thinking.
(B)
								More specifically, the board will:
(1)
									Operate in all
			 ways mindful of its civic trusteeship obligation to the citizens of its
			 district.

									Enforce upon itself whatever discipline is needed to
			 govern with excellence. Discipline will apply to matters such as attendance,

			 informed about relevant global and local educational and other issues, actively
			 gathering information to fulfill this role.

			 values.

			 performance. Within this context, the board commits to the continuous
			 improvement of its governing processes and for the growth and development of
