HOUSE RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, It is clear that the past two gubernatorial
3 administrations did not consult with the alumni associations of
4 the various State universities before making appointments to
5 those universities' boards of trustees; and
 
6     WHEREAS, A degree from a particular institution does not
7 automatically qualify an individual to be a trustee, nor should
8 a non-graduate automatically be disqualified from service;
9 nonetheless, a successful trustee ought to have a longstanding
10 relationship with his or her particular university; it stands
11 to reason that the mandatory predicate for any trustee
12 candidate should be an intangible love for the institution of
13 higher education that he or she is being asked to serve;
14 therefore, be it
 
15     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
16 NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we
17 urge Governor Quinn to return to the practice of selecting
18 State university trustees from a list provided by and vetted by
19 the alumni association of the State university in question; and
20 be it further
 
21     RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be
22 delivered to Governor Quinn.
