Sec. 30-25. Officers; meetings. Members of the Board shall elect annually
by secret ballot from their own number a chairman who shall preside over
meetings of the Board and a secretary.
Meetings of the Board shall be held at least once each quarter on the campus
of Northern Illinois University at DeKalb, Illinois or on any other
University-owned property located in the State. At all regular
meetings of the Board, a majority of its
members shall constitute a quorum. The student member shall have all
of the privileges of membership, including the right to make and second
motions, to attend executive sessions, and to
vote on all Board matters
except those involving faculty tenure, faculty promotion or any issue on which
the student member has a direct conflict of interest. For the purposes of this Section, a student member shall not be deemed to have a direct conflict of interest in and may vote on any item involving the employment or compensation of the President of the University or the election of officers. Unless the student
member is entitled to vote on a measure at a meeting of the Board or any of
its committees, he or she shall not be considered a member for the purpose of
determining whether a quorum is present at the time that measure is voted
upon. No action of the Board shall be invalidated by reason of any vacancies
on the Board or by reason of any failure to select a student member.
Special meetings of the Board may be called by the chairman of the Board
or by any 3 members of the Board.
At each regular and special meeting that is open to the public, members of
the public and employees of the University shall be afforded time, subject to
reasonable constraints, to make comments to or ask questions of the Board.
