No spouse of a member of the General Assembly, of a lobbyist, or of an officer or employee of The University of North Carolina, or of any constituent institution may be a member of the Board of Governors. Any member of the Board of Governors who is elected or appointed to the General Assembly, who becomes a lobbyist, or who becomes an officer or employee of the State or of any constituent institution or whose spouse is elected or appointed to the General Assembly, becomes a lobbyist, or becomes an officer or employee of The University of North Carolina or of any constituent institution shall be deemed thereupon to resign from his membership on the Board of Governors.
