From the most recent meeting of the special legislative committee on independent university boards:
Board Composition
- 2 Students, one undergraduate, one graduate (if appropriate) nominated by the relevant student organization(s) and appointed by the Governor.
- 2 faculty, one nominated by nominated by the faculty senate and one by the faculty union if there is one, and appointed by the Governor.
- 1 non-faculty staff member, nominated by the statewide staff organization and appointed by the Governor.
- 1 from the SBHE.
- 7 appointed at large by the Governor. These will (normally) be Oregon residents. One
will be nominated the Foundation Board.
[Current SBHE: 2 students, 2 faculty, 1 CC President, seven at-large.]
More here. Obviously this is all subject to change. 8/7/2012.
The Senate, by virtue of being created by the faculty assembly, is the body legally vested with a role in governance, and it consists of *all* faculty. The union excludes law and many science faculty. Why not have all faculty delegates to the board come from the faculty assembly?
“…all faculty delegates to the board come from the faculty assembly…) sounds exactly right to me.
