| 15 | | student member . The Governor shall designate one of the student | 16 | | members
serving on the Board to serve as the voting student | 17 | | member. Each student
member shall be chosen by the respective | 18 | | campuses of Southern Illinois

|
| 1 | | each year, except that the student members
initially selected | 2 | | shall serve a term beginning on the date of such selection
and | 3 | | expiring on the next succeeding June 30. To be eligible for | 4 | | selection as
a student member and to be eligible to remain as a | 5 | | voting or nonvoting student
member of the Board, a student | 6 | | member must be a resident of this State, must
have and maintain | 7 | | a grade point average that is equivalent to at least 2.5
on a | 8 | | 4.0 scale, and must be a full-time full time student enrolled | 9 | | at all times during
his or her term of office except for that | 10 | | part of the term which follows
the completion of the last full | 11 | | regular semester of an academic year and
precedes the first | 12 | | full regular semester of the succeeding academic year at
the | 13 | | university (sometimes commonly referred to as the summer | 14 | | session or summer
school). If a voting or nonvoting student | 15 | | member serving on the Board fails
to continue to meet or | 16 | | maintain the residency, minimum grade point average, or
| 17 | | enrollment requirement established by this Section, his or her | 18 | | membership on
the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by | 19 | | operation of law. No more than
4 of the members appointed by | 20 | | the Governor shall be affiliated with the same
political party. | 21 | | Each member appointed by the Governor must be a resident of
| 22 | | this State. A failure to meet or maintain this residency | 23 | | requirement
constitutes a resignation from and creates a | 24 | | vacancy in the Board. Upon the
expiration of the terms of | 25 | | members appointed by the Governor, their respective
successors | 26 | | shall be appointed for terms of 6 years from the third Monday |

appointed for like terms. If the Senate is not | 3 | | in session appointments shall
be made as in the case of | 4 | | vacancies.
