| Public Act 098-0999 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Western Illinois University Law is amended | ||||
by changing Section 35-25 as follows:
| ||||
(110 ILCS 690/35-25)
| ||||
Sec. 35-25. Officers; meetings. Members of the Board shall | ||||
elect annually
by secret ballot from their own number a | ||||
chairman who shall preside over
meetings of the Board and a | ||||
secretary.
| ||||
Meetings of the Board shall be held at least once each | ||||
quarter. One of these meetings must be held on the Quad Cities | ||||
campus of Western Illinois University and all other meetings | ||||
must be held on the campus
of Western Illinois University at | ||||
Macomb, Illinois. At all regular meetings of
the Board, a | ||||
majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. The student
| ||||
member shall have all of the privileges of membership, | ||||
including the right to
make and second motions, to attend | ||||
executive sessions, and to vote on all Board
matters except | ||||
those involving faculty tenure, faculty promotion or any issue
| ||||
on which the student member has a direct conflict of interest. | ||||
Unless the
student member is entitled to vote on a measure at a | ||||
meeting of the Board or
any of its committees, he or she shall | ||||
not be considered a member for the
purpose of determining | ||
whether a quorum is present at the time that measure is
voted | ||
upon. No action of the Board shall be invalidated by reason of | ||
any
vacancies on the Board or by reason of any failure to | ||
select a student member.
| ||
Special meetings of the Board may be called by the chairman | ||
of the Board
or by any 3 members of the Board.
| ||
At each regular and special meeting that is open to the | ||
public, members of
the public and employees of the University | ||
shall be afforded time, subject to
reasonable constraints, to | ||
make comments to or ask questions of the Board.
