Oldham wants the committee to list all nominees, limiting the names of candidates to appear on the ballot to no more than twice the number of open seats in each category, on March 18 or soon thereafter. The resolution calls for the House to elect nine members of the BOG on or before March 23. Two persons in the minority race category. Two persons in the woman category. One person to fill a vacancy in the at-large category, for a term ending June 30, 2001.
Full terms are for four years.
Oldham proposes that the committee screen nominees by interviewing them or soliciting written information, or both. Candidates must be nominated by a House member, in writing on a form provided by the committee chair, to be considered. A person cannot be nominated in more than one category. Persons nominated but not elected by the Senate would not be eligible in the House under Oldham's proposal. President Molly Corbett Broad reviewed the University's continuation budget in a presentation to the Joint Appropriations Subcommittee on Education Thursday morning.
