HOUSE RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, A healthy public university board of trustees
3 means a vibrant, thriving higher education community; and
 
4     WHEREAS, While a trustee does not necessarily have to be a

6 education is best served by trustees that have an intangible
7 love for the institution; and
 
8     WHEREAS, Alumni associations have a unique interaction
9 with the best and brightest and are in the best position to vet
10 potential trustee candidates; therefore, be it
 
11     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
12 NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we
13 respectfully request that the alumni association of each public
14 university in this State meet and develop a public and
15 transparent plan to vet and forward potential trustee
16 candidates to the Governor any time there is an opening on the
17 board of trustees; and be it further
 
18     RESOLVED, That each alumni association, in selecting
19 potential trustee candidates, search for a person who exhibits
20 love for the institution that he or she would serve and who has
21 years of service to and support of the institution; and be it
