Bill Summary

University of Montevallo; board of trustees terms of office revised; quorum for meetings of board of trustees revised; and office of president qualifications revised

AI Summary

This bill revises several provisions concerning the University of Montevallo's Board of Trustees and the qualifications for its president. Specifically, it changes the number of trustees required to form a quorum from five to six, shortens the term for newly appointed trustees from 12 years to eight years, effective January 1, 2027, and limits trustees to serving no more than two terms, with an exception for those already serving or confirmed before that date. The bill also modifies the qualifications for the university president, changing the requirement from "person" to "individual" and removing the mandatory stipulation that the president must be an "educator by profession," instead encouraging the trustees to consider such individuals. The bill also clarifies that college or university standing should be "well-known" and adds "good business and administrative qualifications" as a requirement.
