| 1 | | AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 46
| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 46 by replacing | 3 | | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| 4 | | "Section 5. The University of Illinois Trustees Act is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 1 as follows: | 6 | | (110 ILCS 310/1) (from Ch. 144, par. 41) | 7 | | Sec. 1. Membership. | 8 | | (a) The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois | 9 | | shall consist
of the Governor and at least 12 trustees. Nine | 10 | | trustees shall be
appointed by the Governor and the Board of | 11 | | Directors of the University of Illinois Alumni Association as | 12 | | provided under this subsection (a) , by and with the advice and | 13 | | consent of
the Senate. The other trustees shall be students, of | 14 | | whom one student shall
be selected from each University campus. | 15 | | Two of the successors to the 3 trustees appointed by the | 16 | | Governor whose terms expire in 2015 and their successors |
| | | 09800SB0046sam001 | - 2 - | LRB098 00193 RPM 43238 a |
|
| 1 | | thereafter shall be appointed by the Board of Directors of the | 2 | | University of Illinois Alumni Association, and the other | 3 | | trustee and his or her successors thereafter shall be appointed | 4 | | by the Governor. Two of the successors to the 3 trustees | 5 | | appointed by the Governor whose terms expire in 2017 and their | 6 | | successors thereafter shall be appointed by the Board of | 7 | | Directors of the University of Illinois Alumni Association, and | 8 | | the other trustee and his or her successors thereafter shall be | 9 | | appointed by the Governor. One of the successors to the 3 | 10 | | trustees appointed by the Governor whose terms expire in 2019 | 11 | | and his or her successors thereafter shall be appointed by the | 12 | | Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Alumni | 13 | | Association, and the other 2 trustees and their successors | 14 | | thereafter shall be appointed by the Governor. Appointments by | 15 | | the Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Alumni | 16 | | Association shall be made in accordance with the association's | 17 | | bylaws, provided that (i) nominations from the general public | 18 | | must be considered, (ii) a nominee must not be rejected solely | 19 | | because he or she is not an alumnus of the University of | 20 | | Illinois, and (iii) a person must not be appointed as a trustee | 21 | | for more than 2 consecutive full terms. | 22 | | (b) Each student trustee shall serve a term of one year, | 23 | | beginning on July 1 or
on the date of his or her selection, | 24 | | whichever is later, and expiring on the
next succeeding June | 25 | | 30. | 26 | | (c) Each trustee shall have all of the privileges of |
| | | 09800SB0046sam001 | - 3 - | LRB098 00193 RPM 43238 a |
|
| 1 | | membership, except that only
one student trustee shall have the | 2 | | right to cast a legally binding vote. The
Governor shall | 3 | | designate which one of the student trustees shall possess, for
| 4 | | his or her entire term, the right to cast a legally binding | 5 | | vote. Each student
trustee who does not possess the right to | 6 | | cast a legally binding vote shall
have the right to cast an | 7 | | advisory vote and the right to make and second
motions and to | 8 | | attend executive sessions. | 9 | | (d) Each trustee shall be governed by the same conflict of | 10 | | interest standards.
Pursuant to those standards, it shall not | 11 | | be a conflict of interest for a
student trustee to vote on | 12 | | matters pertaining to students generally, such as
tuition and | 13 | | fees. However, it shall be a conflict of interest for a student
| 14 | | trustee to vote on
faculty member
tenure or promotion. | 15 | | (e)
Student trustees shall be chosen by campus-wide
student | 16 | | election, and the
student trustee designated by the Governor to
| 17 | | possess a legally binding vote shall be
one of the students | 18 | | selected by this method. A student trustee who does not
possess | 19 | | a legally binding vote on a
measure at a meeting of the
Board | 20 | | or any of its committees shall not be considered a trustee
for | 21 | | the purpose
of determining whether a quorum is present at the | 22 | | time that measure is voted
upon. To be eligible for selection | 23 | | as a
student trustee
and
to be eligible to remain as a voting | 24 | | or nonvoting student trustee,
a student trustee must be a | 25 | | resident of this State,
must have and maintain a
grade point | 26 | | average that is equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and |
| | | 09800SB0046sam001 | - 4 - | LRB098 00193 RPM 43238 a |
|
| 1 | | must
be a full time student enrolled at all times during his or | 2 | | her term of office
except
for that part of the term which | 3 | | follows
the completion of the last full regular semester of an | 4 | | academic year and
precedes the first full regular semester of | 5 | | the succeeding academic year at the
University (sometimes | 6 | | commonly referred to as the summer
session or summer
school). | 7 | | If a voting or nonvoting student trustee
fails to
continue to | 8 | | meet or maintain the residency, minimum grade point average, or
| 9 | | enrollment requirement established by this Section, his
or her | 10 | | membership on the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by | 11 | | operation
of law. | 12 | | If a voting student trustee resigns or otherwise ceases to | 13 | | serve on the
Board, the Governor shall, within 30 days, | 14 | | designate one of the remaining
student trustees to possess the | 15 | | right to cast a legally binding vote
for the remainder of his | 16 | | or her term. If a nonvoting student trustee resigns
or
| 17 | | otherwise ceases to serve on the Board, the chief executive of | 18 | | the
student government from that campus shall, within 30 days, | 19 | | select
a new nonvoting student trustee to serve for the | 20 | | remainder of the term. | 21 | | (f) No more than 5 of the 9 appointed trustees
shall be | 22 | | affiliated
with the same political party.
Each trustee | 23 | | appointed by the Governor or the Board of Directors of the | 24 | | University of Illinois Alumni Association must be a resident of | 25 | | this State. A
failure to meet
or maintain this residency | 26 | | requirement constitutes a resignation from and
creates a
|
| | | 09800SB0046sam001 | - 5 - | LRB098 00193 RPM 43238 a |
|
| 1 | | vacancy in the Board.
The term of office of each appointed | 2 | | trustee
shall be 6 years from the third Monday in January of | 3 | | each odd numbered year.
The regular terms of office of the
| 4 | | appointed trustees shall be staggered so that 3 terms expire in | 5 | | each
odd-numbered year. | 6 | | Vacancies for appointed trustees shall be filled for the | 7 | | unexpired term
in the same manner as
original appointments. If | 8 | | a vacancy in membership occurs at a time when the
Senate is not | 9 | | in session, the Governor or the Board of Directors of the | 10 | | University of Illinois Alumni Association shall make temporary | 11 | | appointments until
the next meeting of the Senate, when the | 12 | | Governor or the Board of Directors of the University of | 13 | | Illinois Alumni Association he shall appoint persons to fill | 14 | | such
memberships for the remainder of their respective terms. | 15 | | If the Senate is not
in session when appointments for a full | 16 | | term are made, appointments shall be
made as in the case of | 17 | | vacancies. | 18 | | No action of the board shall be invalidated by reason of | 19 | | any vacancies on
the board, or by reason of any failure to | 20 | | select student trustees. | 21 | | (Source: P.A. 91-778, eff. 1-1-01; 91-798, eff. 7-9-00;
