Proposed Revision to 217.1 - Local Executive Boards
AMENDMENT SUGGESTED
(delete statuory redundancies in #1 and add compensation amount in #3)
Board policy:
1. Pertinent statutory provisions - (20-25-303;304
M.C.A.) Members of local boards, after
appointment by the Governor and confirmation by the Board, qualify by making
the filing of their oath of office with the Board. The regular term of office is three years except that a member of
a local board may be sooner removed by the Governor or by the Board. Limited allowances for compensation are
fixed by statute, and necessary expenses may be reimbursed. Meetings must be held at least once each
calendar quarter. Each
campus shall have a local executive board appointed as provided in
20-25-303 M.C.A. Local
board functions relating to institutional management or staff are limited to
such as may be conferred by the Board and are subject always to the supervision
of the latter. Local boards may receive
gifts and bequests for the use of the institutions.
2. Functions - The functions of each local
board shall include consultative and advisory service to the president of the
institution as well as other duties as may be duly specified and communicated
to them by, or on behalf of, the Board, President, Chancellor or
the Commissioner of Higher Education.
3. Compensation - Each member of a local
executive board may be compensated as
provided by statute (20-25-303(5)).
