 7        Sec. 2. Members of Board; appointment;  student  members;
 8    selection. The term of each appointed member of the Board who

11    initially appointed under this amendatory  Act  of  the  93rd
12    General   Assembly  have  been  appointed  by  the  Governor,
13    whichever occurs  later.  The  Board  shall  consist  of  the
14    following  7  members  appointed by the Governor, by and with
15    the advice and consent of the Senate, for terms beginning  on
16    July  1,  2003,  or as soon as possible thereafter, 3 of whom

 1    graduates  of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville or
 2    Southern Illinois School of Dentistry or reside  in  Madison,
 3    St.  Clair,  Bond,  Macoupin,  Clinton,  Fayette, Montgomery,
 4    Washington, or Monroe County, and one  of  whom  shall  be  a
 5    resident   of   this  State,  the  Superintendent  of  Public
 6    Instruction, or his chief assistant for liaison  with  higher
 7    education  when designated to serve in his place, ex-officio,
 8    and one voting student member designated by the Governor from
 9    each one campus of the University and one  nonvoting  student
10    member  from  the campus of the University not represented by
11    the voting student member.  The Governor shall designate  one
12    of  the  student members serving on the Board to serve as the
13    voting student member.  Each student member shall  be  chosen
14    by the respective campuses of Southern Illinois University at
15    Carbondale  and  Edwardsville.   The method of choosing these
16    student members shall be by campus-wide student election, and
17    any student designated by the Governor to be a voting student
18    member shall be one of the students chosen  by  this  method.
19    The  student  members shall serve terms of one year beginning
20    on July 1 of each  year,  except  that  the  student  members
21    initially  selected  shall serve a term beginning on the date
22    of such selection and expiring on the  next  succeeding  June
23    30.   To be eligible for selection as a student member and to
24    be eligible to remain as a voting or nonvoting student member
25    of the Board, a student member must be  a  resident  of  this
26    State,  must  have and maintain a grade point average that is
27    equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full
28    time student enrolled at all times during his or her term  of
29    office  except  for  that  part of the term which follows the
30    completion of the last full regular semester of  an  academic
31    year  and  precedes  the  first  full regular semester of the
32    succeeding  academic  year  at  the   university   (sometimes
33    commonly referred to as the summer session or summer school).
34    If  a voting or nonvoting student member serving on the Board

 1    fails to continue to meet or maintain the residency,  minimum
 2    grade point average, or enrollment requirement established by
 3    this  Section,  his  or  her membership on the Board shall be
 4    deemed to have terminated by operation of law.  No more  than
 5    4   of  the  members  appointed  by  the  Governor  shall  be
 6    affiliated  with  the  same  political  party.   Each  member
 7    appointed by the Governor must be a resident of  this  State.
 8    A  failure  to  meet  or  maintain this residency requirement
 9    constitutes a resignation from and creates a vacancy  in  the
10    Board.  Of the members initially appointed by the Governor on
11    or after July 1, 2003, 2 members shall serve for terms ending
12    June  30,  2005,  2 members shall serve for terms ending June
13    30, 2007, and the remaining members  shall  serve  for  terms
14    ending  June  30,  2009.  Upon the expiration of the terms of
15    members initially appointed by the Governor on or after  July
16    1,  2003,  their respective successors shall be appointed for
17    terms of 6 years from the third Monday  in  January  of  each
18    odd-numbered  year  and until their respective successors are
19    appointed for like terms.  If the Senate is  not  in  session
20    appointments shall be made as in the case of vacancies.

31    immediately after each meeting.
32        No member of the Board shall hold or be  employed  in  or
33    appointed  to  any office or place under the authority of the
