4 "Section 5. The University of Illinois Trustees Act is
5 amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
6 (110 ILCS 310/1) (from Ch. 144, par. 41)
7 Sec. 1. The Board of Trustees of the University of
8 Illinois shall consist of 9 trustees appointed by the
9 Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,
10 the Governor, and, until July 1, 2001, one voting nonvoting
11 student member designated by the Governor from one campus of
12 the University and one nonvoting student member from each
13 campus of the University not represented by the voting
14 student member. The Governor shall designate one of the
15 student members serving on the Board on the effective date of
16 this amendatory Act of 1997 to serve as the voting student
17 member for the remainder of that student's term on the Board.
18 Beginning on July 1, 2001, and thereafter, the student
19 members of the Board shall all be nonvoting members, one
20 selected from each campus of the University of Illinois.
21 Each nonvoting student member shall serve a term of one
22 year, beginning on July 1 of each year or on the date of his
-2- LRB9007309THpkam
1 or her selection, whichever is later, and expiring on the
2 next succeeding June 30. The student members shall have all
3 of the privileges of membership, including the right to make
4 and second motions and to attend executive sessions, other
5 than the right to vote, except that until July 1, 2001 the
6 student member designated by the Governor as the voting
7 student member shall have the right to vote on all Board
8 matters except those involving faculty tenure, faculty
9 promotion or any issue on which the student member has a
10 direct conflict of interest. The method of selecting these
11 student members shall be determined by campus-wide student
12 referendum, and any student designated by the Governor to be
13 a voting student member shall be one of the students selected
14 by this method. A student member who is not entitled to vote
15 on a measure at a meeting of the Board or any of its
16 committees shall not be considered a member for the purpose
17 of determining whether a quorum is present at the time that
18 measure is voted upon. Nonvoting student members shall not
19 be considered members for the purpose of determining a quorum
20 at any meeting of the Board or any of its committees. To be
21 eligible for selection as a student member and to be eligible
22 to remain as a voting or nonvoting student member of the
23 Board, a student member must be a resident of this State,
24 must have and maintain a grade point average that is
25 equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full

28 completion of the last full regular semester of an academic
29 year and precedes the first full regular semester of the
30 succeeding academic year at the university (sometimes
31 commonly referred to as the summer session or summer school).
32 If a voting or nonvoting student member serving on the Board
33 fails to continue to meet or maintain the residency, minimum
34 grade point average, or enrollment requirement established by
-3- LRB9007309THpkam
1 this Section, his or her membership on the Board shall be
2 deemed to have terminated by operation of law.
3 The term of each elected trustee who is in office on the
4 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995 shall terminate
5 on the second Monday in January, 1996, or when a quorum of
6 the trustees initially to be appointed under this amendatory
7 Act of 1995 is appointed and qualified, whichever last
8 occurs.
9 No more than 5 of the 9 trustees members appointed by the
10 Governor shall be affiliated with the same political party.
11 The term of office of each appointed trustee shall be 6 years
12 from the third Monday in January of each odd numbered year,
13 except that of the 9 trustees initially appointed by the
14 Governor, 3 shall be appointed for terms that commence on the
15 date of their appointment and expire on the second Monday in
16 January, 1997; 3 shall be appointed for terms that commence
17 on the date of their appointment and expire on the second
18 Monday in January, 1999; and 3 shall be appointed for terms
19 that commence on the date of their appointment and expire on
20 the second Monday in January, 2001. Upon expiration of the
21 terms of the members initially appointed by the Governor,
22 their respective successors shall be appointed for terms of 6
23 years from the second Monday in January of each odd numbered
24 year and until their respective successors are appointed and
25 qualified.
26 Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term in the
27 same manner as original appointments. If a vacancy in
28 membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not in
29 session, the Governor shall make temporary appointments until
30 the next meeting of the Senate, when he shall appoint persons
31 to fill such memberships for the remainder of their
32 respective terms. If the Senate is not in session when
33 appointments for a full term are made, appointments shall be
34 made as in the case of vacancies.
