1 | AN ACT concerning education.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Southern Illinois University Management Act | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | is amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (110 ILCS 520/2) (from Ch. 144, par. 652)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 2.
The Board shall consist of 7 members appointed by | |||||||||||||||||||
8 | the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, or his chief | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | assistant for liaison with higher education when
designated to | |||||||||||||||||||
11 | serve in his place, ex-officio, and 2 voting student members, | |||||||||||||||||||
12 | one from each campus of the University. Each student
member | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | shall be chosen by the respective campuses of Southern | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | Illinois
University at Carbondale and Edwardsville. The method | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | of choosing these
student members shall be by campus-wide | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | student election. The student members shall serve terms of one
| |||||||||||||||||||
17 | year beginning on July 1 of each year, except that the student | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | members
initially selected shall serve a term beginning on the | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | date of such selection
and expiring on the next succeeding | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | June 30. To be eligible for selection as
a student member and | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | to be eligible to remain as a student
member of the Board, a | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | student member must be a resident of this State, must
have and | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | maintain a grade point average that is equivalent to at least |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 2.5
on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full-time student enrolled at | ||||||
2 | all times during
his or her term of office except for that part | ||||||
3 | of the term which follows
the completion of the last full | ||||||
4 | regular semester of an academic year and
precedes the first | ||||||
5 | full regular semester of the succeeding academic year at
the | ||||||
6 | university (sometimes commonly referred to as the summer | ||||||
7 | session or summer
school). If a student member serving on the | ||||||
8 | Board fails
to continue to meet or maintain the residency, | ||||||
9 | minimum grade point average, or
enrollment requirement | ||||||
10 | established by this Section, his or her membership on
the | ||||||
11 | Board shall be deemed to have terminated by operation of law. | ||||||
12 | No more than
4 of the members appointed by the Governor shall | ||||||
13 | be affiliated with the same
political party. Each member | ||||||
14 | appointed by the Governor must be a resident of
this State. A | ||||||
15 | failure to meet or maintain this residency requirement
| ||||||
16 | constitutes a resignation from and creates a vacancy in the | ||||||
17 | Board. Upon the
expiration of the terms of members appointed | ||||||
18 | by the Governor, their respective
successors shall be | ||||||
19 | appointed for terms of 6 years from the third Monday in
January | ||||||
20 | of each odd-numbered year and until their respective | ||||||
21 | successors are
appointed for like terms. If the Senate is not | ||||||
22 | in session appointments shall
be made as in the case of | ||||||
23 | vacancies.
| ||||||
24 | (Source: P.A. 101-175, eff. 1-1-20 .)
| ||||||
25 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
26 | becoming law.
