The Rector then asked for consideration of two resolutions passed by the Executive Committee the day before. The first resolution shortened the term of the Rector from four years to two years, creating the position of Vice Rector who would automatically succeed the Rector, and except for the election to be held at the next Board meeting in April, would begin the Rector's term on July 1st. The Vice Rector would serve on the Executive Committee with the Rector, thus increasing the total membership of that committee to six. All of these changes to the Manual would require changes to the Code of Virginia by the General Assembly. The resolution suggested by the Executive Committee also makes minor adjustments to the Manual which do not call for changes to the Code.
A companion resolution authorizes the University to seek emergency legislation at this Session of the General Assembly in order that the changes to the Manual might be in effect by the April meeting of the Board, the meeting at which the Rector and Vice Rector would be elected.
On motion, the two resolutions were approved.
