VI. Membership and Organization

The Media Board shall be composed of seven students appointed by the presidents of the several Schools of the University. Present media staff are to be excluded from appointment. The term of appointment will be for two years, with terms being staggered so that three members end their term one year and four the next, and with the largest School, the College of Arts and Sciences, always represented. A chairman shall be chosen by the Media Board from among the members who have served one year.

  • Each of the members shall be appointed no later than the fall of their next to last school year before graduation. Vacancies shall be filled by the presidents of the various Schools on a rotating basis, the rotation being based upon an alphabetical listing of the Schools. Vacancies in the unexpired term of any School shall be filled within thirty days through appointment by the president representing that School. The appointment schedule beginning the fall of 1976 shall be as follows:

  • 1102

  • Architecture - initial one year term, 1976-77
  • College of Arts & Sciences - (always represented) initial one year term, 1976-77; two year terms thereafter, 1977-79, 1979-81, etc.
  • Commerce - initial one year term, 1976-77
  • Education - initial one year term, 1976-77

  • Nursing - 1977-79 two year term

If, prior to the consideration of any adjudicative matter, a challenge is made that one or more members of the Media Board should be excused because of conflicts in interest, the challenge shall be decided upon by a majority vote of the unchallenged members of the Media Board, and, when required, substitute members shall be selected by a majority vote; provided that if a majority of the members are challenged, the Student Activities Committee shall act upon the challenge and, if upheld, it shall select substitute members.

The Media Board of Directors may at its discretion elect to have a consultant or advisor from the faculty or staff of the University who should be selected in consultation with the Vice President for Student Affairs, and who would serve ex officio and with no vote.
