Requires state university councils to include the institution's faculty and professional staff
This bill requires state university councils to include faculty and professional staff as voting members. It mandates that each council have twelve members, including one faculty representative elected by the faculty senate and one professional staff representative elected by the professional staff senate. These representatives would have the same ethical and disclosure requirements as other council members and serve seven-year terms, while student members serve one-year terms. The bill applies to all state-operated institutions within the state university system.
