Auburn University, Board of Trustees, procedure for adjusting terms so that only three terms expire per year, two additional at-large members, Amendment 161 (Sec. 266, Recompiled Constitution of 1901, as amended) am'd, const. amend.
Description

Under existing law, the Board of Trustees of Auburn University consists of 13 members plus the Governor, who serves as chair.

This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to provide that in any calendar year in which four or more trustees have terms expiring in the same year, term expiration dates shall be automatically adjusted to ensure that no more than three trustees will have terms expiring in the same year.

This bill would also propose to add two seats to the Board of Trustees to enhance the diversity of the board and delete obsolete transition language.
