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 Northern Illinois University Law is amended | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | by changing Section 30-15 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (110 ILCS 685/30-15)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 30-15. Membership; terms; vacancies. The
The Board | |||||||||||||||||||
8 | shall consist of 7
voting members appointed by the Governor, by | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, and one voting | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | member who is a student at Northern
Illinois University. The | |||||||||||||||||||
11 | student member shall be chosen by a campus-wide
student | |||||||||||||||||||
12 | election. The student member shall serve a term of one year | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | beginning
on July 1 of each year, except that the student | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | member initially selected shall
serve a term beginning on the | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | date of his or her selection and expiring on the
next | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | succeeding June 30. To be eligible to remain as a student | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | member of the
Board, the student member must be a resident of | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | this State, must have and
maintain a grade point average that | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | is equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0
scale, and must be a full | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | time student enrolled at all times during his or her
term of | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | office except for that part of the term which follows
the | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | completion of the last full regular semester of an academic | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | year and
precedes the first full regular semester of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | succeeding academic year at the
university (sometimes commonly | ||||||
2 | referred to as the summer session or summer
school). If a | ||||||
3 | student member serving on the Board fails to continue to meet | ||||||
4 | or
maintain the residency, minimum grade point average, or | ||||||
5 | enrollment requirement
established by this Section, his or her | ||||||
6 | membership on the Board shall be deemed
to have terminated by | ||||||
7 | operation of law. Of the members first appointed by the
| ||||||
8 | Governor, 4 shall be appointed for terms to expire on the third | ||||||
9 | Monday in
January, 1999, and 3 shall be appointed for terms to | ||||||
10 | expire on the third Monday
in January, 2001. If the Senate is | ||||||
11 | not in session on the effective date of
this Article, or if a | ||||||
12 | vacancy in an appointive membership occurs at a time when
the | ||||||
13 | Senate is not in session, the Governor shall make temporary | ||||||
14 | appointments
until the next meeting of the Senate when he shall | ||||||
15 | nominate persons to fill
such memberships for the remainder of | ||||||
16 | their respective terms. No more than 4
of the members appointed | ||||||
17 | by the Governor shall be affiliated with the same
political | ||||||
18 | party. Each member appointed by the Governor must be a resident
| ||||||
19 | of this State. A failure to meet or maintain this residency | ||||||
20 | requirement
constitutes a resignation from and creates a | ||||||
21 | vacancy in the Board. Upon the
expiration of the terms of | ||||||
22 | members appointed by the Governor, their respective
successors | ||||||
23 | shall be appointed for terms of 6 years from the third Monday | ||||||
24 | in
January of each odd-numbered year. Any members appointed to | ||||||
25 | the Board shall
continue to serve in such capacity until their | ||||||
26 | successors are appointed and
qualified. |
