Summary
Under current law, the members of the Auraria board of directors (board) who are the representatives of the student advisory committee and faculty advisory committee are nonvoting members. The bill makes those members voting members of the board. Concerning the representative of the student advisory committee, the bill repeals the requirement that the student be a full-time student and reduces the Colorado residency requirement from 3 years prior to the member's election to one year prior to the member's election.The bill expands the faculty advisory committee from 6 to 9 members. One of the additional members is elected from each constituent institution of the Auraria higher education center. The bill requires board members to recuse themselves from a vote or executive session of the board when they have a conflict of interest.(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
