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 governance, specifically amending existing laws to change the terms of office for its board of trustees, the number of members required for a quorum at board meetings, and the qualifications for the university president. Key changes include reducing the trustee appointment term from 12 years to eight years, effective January 1, 2027, with a limit of two terms, and increasing the quorum needed for board meetings from five to six members. Additionally, while the bill encourages the board to consider individuals who are educators by profession for the president's role, it removes the strict requirement that the president must be an educator, instead emphasizing the need for good business and administrative qualifications, a graduate degree from a reputable institution, and good moral character.
