The Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College voted to authorize the university president, in consultation with the general counsel, to review and, if appropriate, send Brian Kelly written notice of termination under his employment agreement.
A board member moved, “I move to authorize the president in consultation with the general counsel to review and, if appropriate, send Brian Kelly written notice of termination under his employment agreement.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records no roll-call tally and does not identify the mover by name in the public record.
The action followed a closed deliberation: the board briefly moved into executive session for deliberation and later returned to open session before taking the motion. The transcript does not record any public comments on the matter — Doctor Kane reported no registrants during the public-comment check — and it does not provide a public explanation of the grounds for the proposed termination.
Supervisor Levar Henderson led the invocation and pledge earlier in the meeting. After the vote the board promptly moved to adjourn.
Next steps and public record: the board’s motion authorizes the president and general counsel to review and, if they find it appropriate, to issue a written termination notice under the terms of Kelly’s employment agreement. The transcript does not specify any timeline for that review, the specific contractual grounds being considered, or whether the university will publish additional findings or a formal staff report. The voice-vote record provides no individual votes or a vote tally in the public transcript.
The meeting concluded with the chair announcing the motion approved and adjourning the session.
