| | 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. |
