 State Sen. Dann introduces bill to reform university trustee boards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
According to Senator Dann, the legislation he is introducing today will dramatically alter the criteria for becoming a member of the board of trustees of the state’s public universities, technical and community colleges, Board of Regents, and the Tuition Trust Authority.
Senator Dann said that one of the most significant features of the bill is the requirement that each board include a member who is the parent of a student at the university in question at the time of their appointment.
The Senator concluded by saying that the provision prohibiting the appointment of former legislators, executive agency employees or lobbyists to the boards for a period of three years after they have left government service or stopped lobbying will make it less likely that these prestigious appointments will be offered as rewards for services rendered.
