AN ACT concerning education.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Higher Education Student Assistance Act is |
amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
|
(110 ILCS 947/15)
|
Sec. 15. Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
|
(a) There is established the Illinois Student Assistance |
Commission,
consisting of 10 persons to be appointed by the |
Governor with the
advice and
consent of the Senate. The |
membership of the Commission shall consist of one
|
representative of the institutions of higher learning
operated |
by the State; one representative of the private institutions |
of
higher learning located in the State; one representative of |
the public
community colleges located in the State; one |
representative of the public
high schools located in the |
State; 5 citizens of the State chosen for
their knowledge of |
and interest in higher education, but not employed
by, |
professionally affiliated with, or members of the governing |
boards
of any institution of higher learning located in the |
State, and one
student member selected from nominations |
submitted to the Governor by
multi-campus student |
organizations, including but not limited to, the recognized |
|
advisory committee of students of the Illinois Community |
College Board, the
recognized advisory committee of students |
of the Board of Higher Education, and
the recognized advisory |
committee of students of the Federation of Independent
|
Illinois Colleges and Universities. The Governor shall |
designate one member,
other than the student member, as |
chairman. Each member of the Commission,
including the student |
member, shall serve without compensation, but shall be
|
reimbursed for expenses necessarily incurred in performing the |
member's his or her duties
under this Act. Subject to a |
requirement that Commission members in office
on the
effective |
date of this amendatory Act of 1995 may serve the full term to
|
which they were appointed, the appointment of Commission |
members to terms that
commence on or after that effective date |
shall be made in a manner that gives
effect at the earliest |
possible time to the change that is required by this
|
amendatory Act in the representative
composition of the |
Commission's membership.
|
(b) The term of office of each member, other than the |
student
member, is 6 years from July 1 of the year of |
appointment, and until the member's his
successor is appointed |
and qualified. If a member's tenure of office,
other than that |
of the student member, is terminated for any reason
before the |
member's his or her term has expired, the Governor shall fill |
the vacancy by the
appointment of a person who has the same |
representative status as the
person whose term has been so |
|
terminated, and the new appointee shall
hold office only for |
the remainder of that term and until a successor
is appointed |
and qualified.
The term of the student member shall be for 2 |
years from July 1 of each
odd-numbered year and until a |
successor is appointed and qualified. If the tenure of the |
student member is terminated for any
reason, the vacancy shall |
be filled in the same manner as heretofore provided
for a |
regular term of office appointment of the student member. The |
new
student appointee shall hold office only for the remainder |
of that term and until a successor is appointed and qualified. |
A student appointee's status on the Commission may not be |
considered in determining the student appointee's his or her |
eligibility for programs administered by the Commission.
|
(c) In accordance with the provisions of the State |
Universities Civil
Service Act, the Commission shall employ a |
professionally qualified person as
the Executive Director of |
the Commission, and such other employees as may be
necessary |
to effectuate the purposes of this Act.
|
(d) The Commission shall meet at least once in each fiscal |
year, and
may meet at other times which the Chairman may |
designate by giving at
least 10 days' written notice to each |
member.
