Following a similar meeting last Tuesday, WSU board chairman Doug Fecher declined to say what property trustes are discussing. No action was taken by the board after last week's meeting.
Wright State officials have long discussed the possibility of selling off some of the college’s property or assets to save money and rebuild the school’s reserve fund, which was depleted by years of overspending.

WSU officials in June took the first step to try to correct that overspending by slashing more than $30.8 million from the school’s fiscal year 2018 budget.
In October, Wright state trustees sold 11 unused lots in Yellow Springs for $350,000.
A new meeting has not been scheduled.
