HB 1368 – Currently, the Board of Regents of Northwest Missouri State University has nine members. This act requires that eight of the members be voting members and one of the members be a non-voting full time student of the university. No more than four voting members may belong to any one political party. Six members must be residents of the university's historic statutory service region and at least one member must be a resident of Nodaway County. Two voting members must be residents of a county in Missouri outside of the historic statutory service region provided they are not appointed from the same congressional district. A majority of the voting members of the board constitutes a quorum for transaction of business and a majority of the voting members is required for appropriation or disbursement of money and for employment or dismissal of teachers. The board members in office on August 28, 2008, will continue to serve the terms of their original appointment and until a successor is duly appointed. MICHAEL RUFF
