1 AN ACT to amend the University of Illinois Trustees Act
2 by changing Section 1.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The University of Illinois Trustees Act is
6 amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
7 (110 ILCS 310/1) (from Ch. 144, par. 41)
8 Sec. 1. The Board of Trustees of the University of
9 Illinois shall consist of 9 trustees appointed by the
10 Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,
11 the Governor, and one nonvoting student member from each
12 campus of the University of Illinois.
13 Each nonvoting student member shall serve a term of one
14 year, beginning on July 1 of each year or on the date of his
15 or her selection, whichever is later, and expiring on the
16 next succeeding June 30. The student members shall have all
17 of the privileges of membership, including the right to make
18 and second motions and to attend executive sessions, except
19 that only one student member, designated by the Governor at
20 the Governor's discretion, shall have other than the right to
21 vote. The method of selecting these student members shall be
22 determined by campus-wide student referendum. Nonvoting
23 student members shall not be considered members for the
24 purpose of determining a quorum at any meeting of the board
25 or any of its committees.
26 The term of each elected trustee who is in office on the
27 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995 shall terminate
28 on the second Monday in January, 1996, or when a quorum of
29 the trustees initially to be appointed under this amendatory
30 Act of 1995 is appointed and qualified, whichever last
31 occurs.

1 No more than 5 of the 9 trustees members appointed by the
2 Governor shall be affiliated with the same political party.
3 The term of office of each appointed trustee shall be 6 years
4 from the third Monday in January of each odd numbered year,
5 except that of the 9 trustees initially appointed by the
6 Governor, 3 shall be appointed for terms that commence on the
7 date of their appointment and expire on the second Monday in
8 January, 1997; 3 shall be appointed for terms that commence
9 on the date of their appointment and expire on the second
10 Monday in January, 1999; and 3 shall be appointed for terms
11 that commence on the date of their appointment and expire on
12 the second Monday in January, 2001. Upon expiration of the
13 terms of the members initially appointed by the Governor,
14 their respective successors shall be appointed for terms of 6
15 years from the second Monday in January of each odd numbered
16 year and until their respective successors are appointed and
17 qualified.
18 Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term in the
19 same manner as original appointments. If a vacancy in
20 membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not in
21 session, the Governor shall make temporary appointments until
22 the next meeting of the Senate, when he shall appoint persons
23 to fill such memberships for the remainder of their
24 respective terms. If the Senate is not in session when
25 appointments for a full term are made, appointments shall be
26 made as in the case of vacancies.
27 No action of the board shall be invalidated by reason of
28 any vacancies on the board, or by reason of any failure to
29 select nonvoting student members.
