An act relating to the governance of the Vermont State Colleges Corporation and the University of Vermont

H.316 changes governance for Vermont's State Colleges Corporation and the University of Vermont (UVM). It eliminates two legislative trustees from each board and adds one faculty trustee and one staff trustee per institution, both serving four-year terms. The Vermont State Colleges board will grow from 15 to 17 members, while UVM's board will increase from 25 to 27 members. These new faculty and staff trustees will be appointed or elected per the bill's specified processes, with the changes effective by August 1, 2025. The bill directly affects the composition and representation on both boards.
