175.020. The board of curators of Lincoln University of Missouri shall hereafter consist of nine members who shall be appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate; provided that not more than one person shall be appointed upon said board from the same congressional district. No person shall be appointed a curator who shall not be a citizen of the United States and who shall not have been a resident of the state of Missouri two years next prior to his appointment. Not more than five curators shall belong to any one political party.
175.021. 1. The governor shall, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, appoint a student representative to the board of curators of Lincoln University, who shall attend all meetings and participate in all deliberations of the board, except any meeting, record or vote closed under the provisions of section 610.025, RSMo. Such student representative shall not have the right to vote on any matter before the board.
2. Such student representative shall be a full-time student at the university as defined by the board, selected from a panel of three names submitted to the governor by the student government association of the university, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the state of Missouri. No person may be appointed who is not actually enrolled during the term of his appointment as a student at the university.
3. The term of the student representative shall be two years, except that the person first appointed shall serve until January 1, 1989.
4. If a vacancy occurs for any reason in the position of student representative, the governor shall appoint a replacement who meets the qualifications set forth in subsection 2 of this section and who shall serve until his successor is appointed and qualified.
5. If the student representative ceases to be a student at the university, or a resident of the state of Missouri, or fails to attend any regularly called meeting of the board of which he has due notice, his position shall at once become vacant, unless his absence is caused by sickness or some accident preventing his arrival at the time and place appointed for the meeting.
6. The student representative while attending meetings of the board shall receive [no compensation or reimbursement for] his or her actual expenses which shall be paid out of the ordinary revenues of the university.
7. The student representatives of all public colleges and universities shall have paid all student and tuition fees due prior to said appointments and shall pay all future student and tuition fees during the term of office when said fees are due.
