 6    resident  of  this  State,  the  Superintendent   of   Public
 7    Instruction,  or  his chief assistant for liaison with higher
 8    education when designated to serve in his place,  ex-officio,

10    each  one  campus of the University and one nonvoting student
11    member from the campus of the University not  represented  by
12    the  voting student member.  The Governor shall designate one
13    of the student members serving on the Board to serve  as  the
14    voting  student  member.  Each student member shall be chosen
15    by the respective campuses of Southern Illinois University at

17    student members shall be by campus-wide student election, and
18    any student designated by the Governor to be a voting student
19    member  shall  be  one of the students chosen by this method.
20    The student members shall serve terms of one  year  beginning
21    on  July  1  of  each  year,  except that the student members
22    initially selected shall serve a term beginning on  the  date
23    of  such  selection  and expiring on the next succeeding June
24    30.  To be eligible for selection as a student member and  to

32    year and precedes the first  full  regular  semester  of  the
33    succeeding   academic   year  at  the  university  (sometimes
34    commonly referred to as the summer session or summer school).

 1    If a voting or nonvoting student member serving on the  Board
 2    fails  to continue to meet or maintain the residency, minimum
 3    grade point average, or enrollment requirement established by
 4    this Section, his or her membership on  the  Board  shall  be
 5    deemed  to have terminated by operation of law.  No more than
 6    4  of  the  members  appointed  by  the  Governor  shall   be
 7    affiliated  with  the  same  political  party.   Each  member
 8    appointed  by  the Governor must be a resident of this State.
 9    A failure to meet  or  maintain  this  residency  requirement
10    constitutes  a  resignation from and creates a vacancy in the
11    Board.  Of the members initially appointed by the Governor on
12    or after July 1, 2003, 2 members shall serve for terms ending
13    June 30, 2005, 2 members shall serve for  terms  ending  June

18    terms  of  6  years  from the third Monday in January of each
19    odd-numbered year and until their respective  successors  are
20    appointed  for  like  terms.  If the Senate is not in session
21    appointments shall be made as in the case of vacancies.
