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