(110 ILCS 520/2) (from Ch. 144, par. 652)
Sec. 2.
The Board shall consist of 7 members appointed by the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and 2 voting student members, one from each campus of the University. Each student
member shall be chosen by the respective campuses of Southern Illinois
University at Carbondale and Edwardsville. The method of choosing these
student members shall be by campus-wide student election. The student members shall serve terms of one
year beginning on July 1 of each year, except that the student members
initially selected shall serve a term beginning on the date of such selection
and expiring on the next succeeding June 30. To be eligible for selection as
a student member and to be eligible to remain as a student
member of the Board, a student member must be a resident of this State, must
have and maintain a grade point average that is equivalent to at least 2.5
on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full-time student enrolled at all times during
his or her term of office except for that part of the term which follows
the completion of the last full regular semester of an academic year and
precedes the first full regular semester of the succeeding academic year at
the university (sometimes commonly referred to as the summer session or summer
school). If a student member serving on the Board fails
to continue to meet or maintain the residency, minimum grade point average, or
enrollment requirement established by this Section, his or her membership on
the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by operation of law. No more than
4 of the members appointed by the Governor shall be affiliated with the same
political party. Each member appointed by the Governor must be a resident of
this State. A failure to meet or maintain this residency requirement
constitutes a resignation from and creates a vacancy in the Board. Upon the
expiration of the terms of members appointed by the Governor, their respective
successors shall be appointed for terms of 6 years from the third Monday in
January of each odd-numbered year and until their respective successors are
appointed for like terms. If the Senate is not in session appointments shall
be made as in the case of vacancies.
