S 238 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to the Board of Trustees of the Vermont State Colleges Corporation

This bill would restructure the Vermont State Colleges Corporation Board of Trustees by reducing the number of legislative trustees from two to one and adding one faculty trustee and one staff trustee to the 15-member board. The new faculty trustee would be appointed by the faculty union, while the staff trustee would be appointed by staff unions, both serving four-year terms. The transition would occur by August 1, 2024, when the two longest-serving legislative trustees would be replaced by these new positions, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2024. This change shifts representation on the board to include more voices from faculty and staff employees of the state colleges system.
