Meet the Trustees
The
University of Illinois Board of Trustees consists of 13 members, 11 who
have official votes. Nine are appointed by the Governor for terms of
six years, and three student trustees (one from each location: Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield)
are elected by referenda at their university for one-year terms. One of
these student trustees is appointed by the Governor to have an official
vote. The Governor serves as an ex-officio member.
