Kenneth A. Basch has been appointed to the
newly created position of vice president of campus planning and
operations, which will combine the management and operations of
facilities with the physical planning for future development of
campus.
"The new structure will strengthen our
ability to interface with both internal and external groups as
we implement the campus master plan and is consistent with most
comprehensive research universities," Rhonda Gross, senior vice
president for finance and administration, said in a statement.
Basch's appointment has been approved by
the Board of Trustees and became effective July 1.
With the establishment of this new position
and with the retirement of Ken Kutina, the vice president for
institutional planning position Kutina held will no longer be
needed.
Basch has been with CWRU since 1980. During
his twenty-two year career at the University, Ken has held various
positions, including facilities management, environmental safety,
real estate and property management, risk management and insurance,
human resources and treasury. Most recently, Basch has been the
associate vice president for facilities management and operations.
He serves on the boards of the Medical Center
Company and the Parklands Fund and is a member of the Risk Management
Advisory Committee of the United Educators Insurance Company.
He is a member of several industry organizations, including the
University Risk Manager's Association, Association for Physical
Plant Administrators and Society for College and University Planners.
Basch earmed a B.S. in management from the
Ohio State University and an MBA from CWRU.
