Introduced by: Kenneth W. Stolle | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
The University of Virginia's Board of Visitors; emergency. Requires the appointment of a rector to preside at the meetings, and a vice-rector to preside in the absence of the rector. Other duties may be performed by the rector and the vice-rector, as the board may prescribe. The terms of the rector and vice-rector will be for two years, commencing on July 1 of the year of appointment and expiring on June 30 of the year of the expiration of their terms. The board will also appoint, from among its members, a secretary for such term and with such duties as the board prescribes. In the absence of the rector and the vice-rector, the secretary may preside at any meeting. The board may also appoint a substitute pro tempore, as provided in its bylaws, to preside in the absence of the rector, the vice-rector, and the secretary. Vacancies in the offices of rector, vice-rector or secretary may be filled by the board for the unexpired term. The membership of the executive committee, appointed to transact business in the recess of the board, must consist of not less than 3 nor more than 6 members, i.e., a possible increase of 1 member. Three enactment clauses at the end of the bill provide that (i) the rector appointed to succeed the rector whose term expires on or before April 1, 2003, and the vice-rector appointed pursuant to this act will serve for terms that will expire on June 30, 2005; (ii) upon passage of this act, the board of visitors of the University of Virginia must appoint a vice-rector and must provide in its bylaws that a vice-rector will be appointed every 2 years and will automatically succeed the rector, upon the expiration of the rector's term; and (iii) an emergency exists and this act will be in force from its passage, i.e., on such date as may be consistent with the constitutional requirements for passage of legislation that does not become effective in due course.
