 5    amended by changing Section 1 as follows:

 6        (110 ILCS 310/1) (from Ch. 144, par. 41)
 7        Sec.  1.   The  Board  of  Trustees  of the University of
 8    Illinois shall consist  of  the  Governor  and  at  least  12
 9    trustees. Nine 9 trustees shall be appointed by the Governor,
10    by  and  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the Senate, the
11    Governor, and, until July 1, 2001, one voting student  member
12    designated  by the Governor from one campus of the University
13    and one nonvoting student member  from  each  campus  of  the
14    University not represented by the voting student member.  The
15    Governor  shall  designate one of the student members serving
16    on the Board on the effective date of this amendatory Act  of
17    1997  to serve as the voting student member for the remainder
18    of that student's term on the Board.  Beginning  on  July  1,
19    2001,  and thereafter, the student members of the Board shall
20    all be nonvoting members, one selected from  each  campus  of
21    the University. The other trustees shall be students, of whom
22    one student shall be selected from each University campus.
23        Each  student  trustee  member  shall serve a term of one
24    year, beginning on July 1 of each year or on the date of  his
25    or  her  selection,  whichever  is later, and expiring on the
26    next succeeding June 30.
27        Each trustee The student members shall have  all  of  the
28    privileges  of  membership,  except  that  only  one  student
29    trustee  shall have the right to cast a legally binding vote.
30    The  Governor  shall  designate  which  one  of  the  student
31    trustees shall possess, for his or her entire term, the right
 
HB4182 Engrossed            -2-               LRB9111694LDprA
 1    to cast a legally binding vote. Each student trustee who does
 2    not possess the right to cast a legally  binding  vote  shall
 3    have  the  right  to  cast an advisory vote and including the
 4    right to make and second  motions  and  to  attend  executive
 5    sessions.,  other  than  the right to vote, except that until
 6    July 1, 2001 the student member designated by the Governor as
 7    the voting student member shall have the right to vote on all
 8    Board matters except those involving faculty tenure,  faculty
 9    promotion  or  any  issue  on  which the student member has a
10    direct conflict of interest.
11        Each trustee shall be governed by the  same  conflict  of
12    interest standards. Pursuant to those standards, it shall not
13    be  a  conflict  of interest for a student trustee to vote on
14    matters pertaining to students generally, such as tuition and
15    fees. However, it shall be  a  conflict  of  interest  for  a
16    student   trustee   to  vote  on  faculty  member  tenure  or
17    promotion. Student trustees The  method  of  selecting  these
18    student  members  shall  be  chosen determined by campus-wide

20    designated  by the Governor to possess a legally binding vote
21    be a voting student member  shall  be  one  of  the  students
22    selected  by  this  method.   A  student trustee who does not
23    possess a legally binding member who is not entitled to  vote
24    on  a  measure  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  or any of its
25    committees shall not be considered a trustee member  for  the
26    purpose  of  determining  whether  a quorum is present at the
27    time that  measure  is  voted  upon.    To  be  eligible  for
28    selection  as  a student trustee member and to be eligible to
29    remain as a voting or nonvoting student trustee member of the
30    Board, a student trustee member must be a  resident  of  this
31    State,  must  have and maintain a grade point average that is
32    equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full
33    time student enrolled at all times during his or her term  of
34    office  except    for that part of the term which follows the

 2    year  and  precedes  the  first  full regular semester of the
 3    succeeding  academic  year  at  the   University   (sometimes
 4    commonly referred to as the summer session or summer school).

 6    the  Board  fails  to  continue  to  meet  or  maintain   the
 7    residency,   minimum   grade  point  average,  or  enrollment
 8    requirement  established  by  this  Section,   his   or   her
 9    membership on the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by

12    to serve on the Board, the Governor shall,  within  30  days,
13    designate  one  of  the remaining student trustees to possess
14    the right to cast a legally binding vote for the remainder of
15    his or her term.  If a nonvoting student trustee  resigns  or
16    otherwise  ceases  to serve on the Board, the chief executive
17    of the student government from that campus shall,  within  30
18    days, select a new nonvoting student trustee to serve for the
19    remainder of the term.

21    effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995 shall terminate

23    the  trustees initially to be appointed under this amendatory
24    Act of  1995  is  appointed  and  qualified,  whichever  last
25    occurs.

28    party.  The term of office of each appointed trustee shall be
29    6 years from the third Monday in January of each odd numbered
30    year,  except  that  of the 9 trustees initially appointed by

32    the date of their appointment and expire on the second Monday
33    in January,  1997;  3  shall  be  appointed  for  terms  that

 2    terms  that  commence  on  the  date of their appointment and

 4    expiration of the terms of the members initially appointed by
 5    the  Governor, their respective successors shall be appointed
 6    for terms of 6 years from the second  Monday  in  January  of
 7    each  odd numbered year and until their respective successors
 8    are appointed and qualified. The regular terms of  office  of
 9    the  appointed  trustees  shall  be staggered so that 3 terms
10    expire in each odd-numbered year.
11        Vacancies for appointed trustees shall be filled for  the
12    unexpired  term  in the same manner as original appointments.
13    If a vacancy in membership occurs at a time when  the  Senate
14    is   not  in  session,  the  Governor  shall  make  temporary
15    appointments until the next meeting of the  Senate,  when  he
16    shall  appoint  persons  to  fill  such  memberships  for the
17    remainder of their respective terms.  If the Senate is not in
18    session  when  appointments  for  a  full  term   are   made,
19    appointments shall be made as in the case of vacancies.
20        No  action of the board shall be invalidated by reason of
21    any vacancies on the board, or by reason of  any  failure  to
22    select student trustees members.

 2        Section  45.  The  Western  Illinois  University  Law  is
 3    amended by changing Sections 35-15 and 35-25 as follows:

 4        (110 ILCS 690/35-15)
 5        Sec.  35-15.  Membership;  terms;  vacancies.   The Board
 6    shall consist of 7 voting members appointed by the  Governor,
 7    by  and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and, until
 8    July 1, 2001, one voting member who is a student  at  Western
 9    Illinois University.  The student member serving on the Board
10    on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997 shall be
11    a  voting student member for the remainder of his or her term
12    on the Board.  Beginning on July  1,  2001,  and  thereafter,
13    the  student member of the Board shall be a nonvoting member.
14    The method of selecting the student member shall continue  to
15    be  chosen  determined  by  a  campus-wide  student  election
16    referendum. The student member shall serve a term of one year
17    beginning  on  July  1  of each year, except that the student
18    member initially selected shall serve a term beginning on the
19    date of his  or  her  selection  and  expiring  on  the  next
20    succeeding  June  30.  To  be eligible to remain as a student
21    member of the Board, the student member must be a resident of
22    this State, must have and maintain a grade point average that
23    is equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must  be  a
24    full  time  student  enrolled  at all times during his or her
25    term of office except for that part of the term which follows
26    the completion of  the  last  full  regular  semester  of  an
27    academic year and precedes the first full regular semester of
28    the  succeeding  academic  year  at the university (sometimes
29    commonly referred to as the summer session or summer school).
30    If a student member serving on the Board fails to continue to
31    meet or maintain the residency, minimum grade point  average,
32    or enrollment requirement established by this Section, his or

 2    terminated  by  operation  of  law.  Of  the  members   first
 3    appointed  by the Governor, 4 shall be appointed for terms to
 4    expire on the third Monday in January, 1999, and 3  shall  be
 5    appointed for terms to expire on the third Monday in January,
 6    2001.   If the Senate is not in session on the effective date
 7    of this Article, or if a vacancy in an appointive  membership
 8    occurs  at  a  time  when  the  Senate is not in session, the
 9    Governor shall make temporary  appointments  until  the  next
10    meeting  of the Senate when he shall nominate persons to fill
11    such memberships for the remainder of their respective terms.
12    No more than 4 of the members appointed by the Governor shall
