Bill > H1048

This bill proposes to increase the number of members on the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees from nineteen to twenty-two, specifically by adding three new members. It also mandates that five of these trustees must be students, an increase from the current number of two student trustees. Furthermore, the bill specifies that these five student members will be elected annually by the students of each of the five UMass campuses: Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell, and Worcester, ensuring broader student representation in the governance of the university system.
