The Auburn University Board of Trustees meets today, its first full meeting since June 5, with an agenda that begins at 8:30 a.m. and runs through committee sessions before the full board convenes.
On the docket: the fiscal year 2027 budget, tuition and fees, housing rental rates and Tiger Dining rates for the 2027-28 academic year, plus real estate items including authority to purchase an existing building and land.
The meeting also lands in the middle of a contested governance change. At its June 5 meeting the board voted to dissolve existing university senate and faculty governance bodies in favor of a President’s Academic Advisory Council, a move Auburn’s AAUP chapter and outside free-speech groups have criticized. Faculty candidates for the new council were endorsed earlier this month.
