 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend House Bill 2364  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.  The Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  of
 8    Illinois  shall  consist  of  9  trustees  appointed  by  the
 9    Governor,  by  and with the advice and consent of the Senate,
10    the Governor, and, until July 1, 2001, one  voting  nonvoting
11    student  member designated by the Governor from one campus of
12    the University and one nonvoting  student  member  from  each
13    campus  of  the  University  not  represented  by  the voting
14    student member.  The Governor  shall  designate  one  of  the
15    student members serving on the Board on the effective date of
16    this  amendatory  Act  of 1997 to serve as the voting student
17    member for the remainder of that student's term on the Board.
18    Beginning on  July  1,  2001,  and  thereafter,  the  student
19    members  of  the  Board  shall  all be nonvoting members, one
20    selected from each campus of the University of Illinois.
21        Each nonvoting student member shall serve a term  of  one
22    year,  beginning on July 1 of each year or on the date of his
                            -2-              LRB9007309THpkam
 1    or her selection, whichever is later,  and  expiring  on  the
 2    next  succeeding June 30.  The student members shall have all
 3    of the privileges of membership, including the right to  make
 4    and  second  motions and to attend executive  sessions, other
 5    than the right to vote, except that until July  1,  2001  the
 6    student  member  designated  by  the  Governor  as the voting
 7    student member shall have the right  to  vote  on  all  Board
 8    matters   except  those  involving  faculty  tenure,  faculty
 9    promotion or any issue on which  the  student  member  has  a
10    direct  conflict  of interest.  The method of selecting these
11    student members shall be determined  by  campus-wide  student
12    referendum,  and any student designated by the Governor to be
13    a voting student member shall be one of the students selected
14    by this method.  A student member who is not entitled to vote
15    on a measure at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  or  any  of  its
16    committees  shall  not be considered a member for the purpose
17    of determining whether a quorum is present at the  time  that
18    measure  is  voted upon.  Nonvoting student members shall not
19    be considered members for the purpose of determining a quorum
20    at any meeting of the Board or any of its committees.  To  be
21    eligible for selection as a student member and to be eligible
22    to  remain  as  a  voting  or nonvoting student member of the
23    Board, a student member must be a  resident  of  this  State,
24    must  have  and  maintain  a  grade  point  average  that  is

28    completion  of  the last full regular semester of an academic
29    year and precedes the first  full  regular  semester  of  the
30    succeeding   academic   year  at  the  university  (sometimes
31    commonly referred to as the summer session or summer school).
32    If a voting or nonvoting student member serving on the  Board
33    fails  to continue to meet or maintain the residency, minimum
34    grade point average, or enrollment requirement established by
                            -3-              LRB9007309THpkam

 2    deemed to have terminated by operation of law.
 3        The  term of each elected trustee who is in office on the
 4    effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995 shall terminate
 5    on the second Monday in January, 1996, or when  a  quorum  of

 7    Act of  1995  is  appointed  and  qualified,  whichever  last
 8    occurs.

10    Governor  shall  be affiliated with the same political party.

17    on the date of their appointment and  expire  on  the  second
18    Monday  in  January, 1999; and 3 shall be appointed for terms
19    that commence on the date of their appointment and expire  on
20    the  second  Monday in January, 2001.  Upon expiration of the
21    terms of the members initially  appointed  by  the  Governor,
22    their respective successors shall be appointed for terms of 6
23    years  from the second Monday in January of each odd numbered
24    year and until their respective successors are appointed  and
25    qualified.
26        Vacancies  shall  be filled for the unexpired term in the
27    same manner  as  original  appointments.   If  a  vacancy  in
28    membership  occurs  at  a  time  when  the  Senate  is not in
29    session, the Governor shall make temporary appointments until
30    the next meeting of the Senate, when he shall appoint persons
31    to  fill  such  memberships  for  the  remainder   of   their
32    respective  terms.   If  the  Senate  is  not in session when
33    appointments for a full term are made, appointments shall  be
34    made as in the case of vacancies.

 2    any vacancies on the board, or by reason of  any  failure  to
 3    select nonvoting student members.

 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 nonvoting member who is a student at
 9    Western  Illinois  University.  The student member serving on
10    the Board on the effective date of  this  amendatory  Act  of
11    1997  shall  be  a voting student member for the remainder of
12    his or her term on the Board.  Beginning on July 1, 2001, and
13    thereafter,  the student member  of  the  Board  shall  be  a
14    nonvoting  member. The method of selecting the student member
15    shall continue to be  determined  by  a  campus-wide  student
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

 1    her   membership  on  the  Board  shall  be  deemed  to  have
 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
13    be  affiliated  with  the  same  political  party.  Upon  the
14    expiration of the terms of members appointed by the Governor,
15    their respective successors shall be appointed for terms of 6
16    years from the third Monday in January of  each  odd-numbered
17    year  and until their respective successors are appointed for
18    like terms.
