AlaskaUniversity board would add a faculty regent and change its size
If enacted, the measure would add a faculty-regent process, set the board at 11 members in 2033, and require six members for a quorum then.
What it does
The text provides for a faculty member to serve on the University of Alaska Board of Regents through campus-nominated candidates, but repeals those faculty-regent provisions on February 1, 2033.
The text first sets the University of Alaska Board of Regents at 12 members, then sets it at 11 members beginning February 1, 2033.
The text sets the board’s meeting quorum at seven regents, then lowers it to six beginning February 1, 2033, while keeping approval by a majority of the full board.
Argument forCampus elections could give faculty a direct voice on the board, subject to the appointment and confirmation rules.
Argument againstChanging the board size and quorum in stages could make it harder for readers and board members to know which voting rules apply.
More detail
The University of Alaska would have at least one faculty member on its Board of Regents. Faculty senates would elect nominees, and the governor would appoint a regent from that list. The nominee list would include six faculty members, with two selected by each of the university’s three faculty senates. A separate provision requires at least one regent to be a current full-time, tenured faculty member at one of those campuses. The governor would make the appointment within 60 days after receiving the nominee list. The legislature would confirm the appointment. A faculty regent would lose the office if the person no longer worked full time as a tenured faculty member. The term for a faculty regent would be two years. The text does not give a specific effective date for the faculty-regent provisions. It would repeal those provisions on February 1, 2033.
The Board of Regents would consist of 12 members under one amendment and 11 members under a later amendment. The rule applies to the full University of Alaska Board of Regents. The 11-member provision would take effect February 1, 2033. The text does not state a specific effective date for the 12-member provision.
At least seven regents would be needed to conduct board business under one provision, and at least six would be needed under a later provision. The rule applies to meetings of the University of Alaska Board of Regents, and a majority of the full board would still have to approve board business. The six-member quorum provision would take effect February 1, 2033. The text does not state a specific effective date for the seven-member provision.
