BILL NUMBER:S5032
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to removing term limits for city university of New York trustees
Purpose
To make the terms of members of the boards of trustees members of CUNY and SUNY concur.
Summary of legislation
Section 1: The opening paragraph of paragraph (c) of subdivision 2 of section 6204 of the education as added by chapter 305 of the laws of 1979 is amended.
Justification
Currently CUNY Trustees serve a term of seven years. The appointing authority (The Mayor or the Governor) has the option to reappoint the Trustee for one additional seven year term.
SUNY Trustees are also chosen for a seven year term but there is no limit on their term of office.
This bill seeks to have CUNY trustees serve an unlimited number of seven year terms as is the case with SUNY.
