Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 23-49.17 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 23-49.17. Rights, powers and duties of board in general; meetings; rector, vice-rector and secretary; executive committee.

(a) A. The board of visitors shall be vested with all the rights and powers conferred by the provisions of this chapter insofar as the same are not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter and the general laws of the Commonwealth.

The board shall control and expend the funds of the University and any appropriation hereafter provided, and shall make all needful rules and regulations concerning the University, appoint the president, who shall be its chief executive officer, and all professors, teachers, staff members and agents, and fix their salaries, and generally direct the affairs of the University.

(b) B. The board of visitors shall meet at the University once a year, and at such other times as they shall determine, the days of meetings to be fixed by them. Five A majority of voting members shall constitute a quorum. At the first meeting after July 1, 1962, and every second year thereafter, they shall elect from their own body a rector, who shall preside at their meetings, a secretary and a vice-rector. In the absence of the rector or vice-rector at any meeting, the secretary shall preside, and on the absence of all three, the board may appoint a pro tempore officer to preside. Any vacancies in the offices of rector, vice-rector or secretary may be filled by the board for the unexpired term. Special meetings of the board may be called by the rector or any three members. In either of such cases, notice of the time of meetings shall be given by the secretary to every member.

(c) C. At every regular annual meeting of the board an executive committee of no fewer than five members may be appointed for the transaction of business in the recess of the board. The executive committee shall be the officers of the board and such other members as shall be appointed by the rector.
