|
1 | | (h) This Section is repealed on December 31, 2016. |
2 | | Section 10. The Southern Illinois University Management |
3 | | Act is amended by changing Sections 2, 4, and 5 as follows:
|
4 | | (110 ILCS 520/2) (from Ch. 144, par. 652)
|
5 | | Sec. 2.
The Board shall consist of 7 members appointed by |
6 | | the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, |
7 | | the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, or his chief |
8 | | assistant for liaison with higher education when
designated to |
9 | | serve in his place, ex-officio, and one voting student member |
10 | | chosen
designated by the Governor from each one campus of the |
11 | | University and one nonvoting
student member from the campus of |
12 | | the University not represented by the voting
student member . |
13 | | The Governor shall designate one of the student members
serving |
14 | | on the Board to serve as the voting student member. Each |
15 | | student
member shall be chosen by the respective campuses of |
16 | | Southern Illinois
University at Carbondale and Edwardsville. |
17 | | The method of choosing these
student members shall be by |
18 | | campus-wide student election , and any student
designated by the |
19 | | Governor to be a voting student member shall be one of the
|
20 | | students chosen by this method . The student members shall serve |
21 | | terms of one
year beginning on July 1 of each year, except that |
22 | | the student members
initially selected shall serve a term |
23 | | beginning on the date of such selection
and expiring on the |
24 | | next succeeding June 30. To be eligible for selection as
a |
|
| | HB4113 | - 8 - | LRB099 09011 NHT 29191 b |
|
|
1 | | student member and to be eligible to remain as a voting or |
2 | | nonvoting student
member of the Board, a student member must be |
3 | | a resident of this State, must
have and maintain a grade point |
4 | | average that is equivalent to at least 2.5
on a 4.0 scale, and |
5 | | must be a full time student enrolled at all times during
his or |
6 | | her term of office except for that part of the term which |
7 | | follows
the completion of the last full regular semester of an |
8 | | academic year and
precedes the first full regular semester of |
9 | | the succeeding academic year at
the university (sometimes |
10 | | commonly referred to as the summer session or summer
school). |
11 | | If a voting or nonvoting student member serving on the Board |
12 | | fails
to continue to meet or maintain the residency, minimum |
13 | | grade point average, or
enrollment requirement established by |
14 | | this Section, his or her membership on
the Board shall be |
15 | | deemed to have terminated by operation of law. No more than
4 |
16 | | of the members appointed by the Governor shall be affiliated |
17 | | with the same
political party. Each member appointed by the |
18 | | Governor must be a resident of
this State. A failure to meet or |
19 | | maintain this residency requirement
constitutes a resignation |
20 | | from and creates a vacancy in the Board. Upon the
expiration of |
21 | | the terms of members appointed by the Governor, their |
22 | | respective
successors shall be appointed for terms of 6 years |
23 | | from the third Monday in
January of each odd-numbered year and |
24 | | until their respective successors are
appointed for like terms. |
25 | | If the Senate is not in session appointments shall
be made as |
26 | | in the case of vacancies.
