As we gather, we honor and acknowledge that the University of Colorado’s four campuses are on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute, Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, Lakota, Pueblo and Shoshone Nations. Further, we acknowledge the 48 contemporary tribal nations historically tied to the lands that comprise what is now called Colorado.

 

Acknowledging that we live in the homelands of Indigenous peoples recognizes the original stewards of these lands and their legacies. With this land acknowledgment, we celebrate the many contributions of Native peoples to the fields of medicine, mathematics, government and military service, arts, literature, engineering and more. We also recognize the sophisticated and intricate knowledge systems Indigenous peoples have developed in relationship to their lands.

 

We recognize and affirm the ties these nations have to their traditional homelands and the many Indigenous people who thrive in this place, alive and strong. We also acknowledge the painful history of ill treatment and forced removal that has had a profoundly negative impact on Native nations.

 

We respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land. We honor them and thank the indigenous ancestors of this place. The University of Colorado pledges to provide educational opportunities for Native students, faculty and staff and advance our mission to understand the history and contemporary lives of Native peoples.

Subject
1. Action Item: Election of Todd Saliman as the 24th President of the University of Colorado System
Meeting
Apr 27, 2022 - Special Board Meeting
Category
D. BOARD OF REGENTS DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS
Type
ACTION, University of Colorado System
Recommended Action
RESOLVED that the Board of Regents, having named Todd Saliman as a finalist pursuant to section 24-6-402 (3.5), Colorado Revised Statutes, on April 12, 2022, elects Todd Saliman to the position of President of the University of Colorado effective immediately and authorizes the Chair of the Board of Regents to negotiate the contract of employment, with a base salary of $850,000 per year, subject to approval by the Board at a later date.

 

Statement of Information: After President Kennedy announced he was stepping down effective July 1, 2021, the Regents of the University of Colorado began to consider the timing and logistics for conducting a search for the office of President of the University of Colorado as required by Regent Policy 3.C. The Regents recognized that conducting a proper search process would take time; therefore, the Regents appointed Todd Saliman to serve as President of the University of Colorado, effective July 1, 2021, with plans to begin a search for the office of President of the University of Colorado within six months of that appointment, as required by the Colorado Equal Pay Act.

Regent Policy 3.C. articulates the composition of the search committee, specifying the number of faculty, alumni, students, and staff, among others. The board received more than 100 applications. The nineteen-member committee that was appointed reached across all four campuses and included faculty, staff, students, administrators, alumni, and community members.

The regents then charged the search committee to identify candidates who could serve in the role of President of the University of Colorado. The charge asked the committee to identify at least five candidates for the Board of Regents’ consideration. The search committee was led by Committee Chair Regent Lesley Smith and Vice Chair Regent Sue Sharkey.

The University of Colorado accepted candidate applications and nominations. From hundreds of people who expressed interest in the role, the search committee considered 39 highly qualified candidates. The search committee narrowed the list and identified 10 candidates for interviews, and advanced five candidates to the Board of Regents for consideration.

The Board of Regents interviewed five candidates in person. The Board of Regents met in public session on April 12, 2022, and voted unanimously to name Todd Saliman as a finalist.

Under Colorado law, the identities of those who apply for the presidency remain confidential until the Board of Regents names a finalist, which begins a period where the finalist’s identity is public. During this period, Todd Saliman attended open forums on each of the university campuses and the system administration office. The Board of Regents formally accepted comments on Mr. Saliman’s candidacy through a portal at cu.edu.
