Council Membership

The Presidents' Council also
disagreed with Sen. Stone's
composition of a more
powerful State Council, by
recommending that
"membership be composed of
outstanding lay leaders who are
not associated with any public
or private institution of higher
education as an employee or
board member or concurrently
serving as a member of the
General Assembly."

The Martinsville senator
wants the council to include
the House Appropriations
Committee chairman, the
Senate Finance chairman, the
chairman of the community
college board, a representative
of one of the senior universities
chosen on a rotating basis, and
11 public members.
