| ||||||

voting members appointed by the Governor, by and | ||||||

of the Senate, and one voting | ||||||
10 | member who is a student at Chicago State
University. The | ||||||
11 | student member shall be chosen by a campus-wide student
| ||||||
12 | election. The student member shall serve a term of one year | ||||||
13 | beginning on July
1 of each year, except that the student | ||||||
14 | member initially selected shall serve a
term beginning on the | ||||||
15 | date of his or her selection and expiring on the next
| ||||||
16 | succeeding June 30. A student member may serve only for one | ||||||
17 | term. To be eligible for selection as a student member and to | ||||||
18 | be
eligible to remain as a student member of the Board, the | ||||||
19 | student member must be
a resident of this State, must have and | ||||||
20 | maintain a grade point average that is
equivalent to at least | ||||||
21 | 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full time student
enrolled at | ||||||
22 | all times during his or her term of office except for that part | ||||||
23 | of
the term which follows the completion of the last full | ||||||
24 | regular semester of an
academic year and precedes the first |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | full regular semester of the succeeding
academic year at the | ||||||
2 | university (sometimes commonly referred to as the summer
| ||||||
3 | session or summer school). If a student member serving on the | ||||||
4 | Board fails to
continue to meet or maintain the residency, | ||||||
5 | minimum grade point average, or
enrollment requirement | ||||||
6 | established by this Section, his or her membership on
the Board | ||||||
7 | shall be deemed to have terminated by operation of law. Of the
| ||||||
8 | members first appointed by the Governor, 4 shall be
appointed | ||||||
9 | for terms to expire on the third Monday in January, 1999, and 3
| ||||||
10 | shall be appointed for terms to expire on the third Monday in | ||||||
11 | January,
2001. The 2 additional members appointed by the | ||||||
12 | Governor, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, | ||||||
13 | under this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly shall | ||||||
14 | not be from the same political party and shall be appointed for | ||||||
15 | terms to expire on the third Monday in January, 2009. If the | ||||||
16 | Senate is not in session on the effective date of this
Article, | ||||||
17 | or if a vacancy in an appointive membership occurs at a time | ||||||
18 | when
the Senate is not in session, the Governor shall make a
| ||||||
19 | temporary
appointment to fill the vacancy. Members with these | ||||||
20 | temporary appointments shall be deemed qualified to serve upon | ||||||
21 | appointment and shall continue to serve
appointments
until the | ||||||
22 | next meeting of the Senate when the Governor shall appoint
he | ||||||
23 | shall nominate
persons to fill such memberships , by and with | ||||||
24 | the advice and consent of the Senate, for the remainder of | ||||||
25 | their respective terms.
No more than 5
4 of the members | ||||||
26 | appointed by the Governor shall be
affiliated with the same | ||||||
27 | political party.
Each member appointed by the Governor must be | ||||||
28 | a resident of this State. If any member of the Board appointed | ||||||
29 | by the Governor fails to continue to meet or maintain this | ||||||
30 | residency requirement, then he or she shall resign membership | ||||||
31 | on the Board within 30 days thereafter and, failing submission | ||||||
32 | of this resignation, his or her membership on the Board shall | ||||||
33 | be deemed to have terminated by operation of law.
A
failure to
| ||||||
34 | meet or maintain this residency requirement constitutes a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resignation from and
creates a
vacancy in the Board.
Upon the | ||||||
2 | expiration of the terms
of members appointed by the Governor | ||||||
3 | for other than temporary appointments , their respective | ||||||
4 | successors shall be
appointed , by and within the advice and | ||||||
5 | consent of the Senate, for terms of 6 years from the third | ||||||
6 | Monday in January of each
odd-numbered year. Any members | ||||||
7 | appointed to the Board shall continue to serve
in
such capacity | ||||||
8 | until their successors are appointed and qualified.
