SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Faculty representatives to boards of visitors, the State Board for Community Colleges, and local community college boards. Requires the boards of visitors of four-year public institutions of higher education, State Board for Community Colleges, and local community college boards to appoint one or more nonvoting, advisory faculty representatives to their boards. In the case of the State Board for Community Colleges, the representatives must be appointed from among persons elected by the Chancellor’s Faculty Advisory Committee. Faculty representatives to boards of visitors and local community college boards must be appointed from, in the board’s discretion, either those individuals elected by the faculty senate or other equivalent group of the institution or from a slate of no more than three faculty submitted by the faculty, faculty senate, or other equivalent group. All representatives must serve terms of not less than one twelve-month period, which is coterminous with the institution’s fiscal year, or for terms mutually agreed to by (i) the State Board for Community Colleges and the Chancellor’s Faculty Advisory Committee, or (ii) the local community college board or the board of visitors, as the case may be, and the institution’s faculty senate or other equivalent group. The State Board for Community Colleges, local community college boards, and boards of visitors may exclude such representatives from discussions of faculty grievances, faculty or staff disciplinary matters, salaries, or other matters, in the discretion of the relevant board.
