Relates to qualifications for certain appointed positions with the board of trustees for the state university and the city university of New York

This bill updates the rules for appointing members to the boards of trustees for both the State University of New York and the City University of New York. It requires that anyone appointed by the governor or the mayor cannot simultaneously be a paid employee serving at their pleasure, and it extends the seven-year terms for most appointed trustees. The legislation also clarifies that student and faculty representatives on these boards must follow the same ethical and disclosure rules as regular voting members. These changes apply to all new appointments made after the law takes effect.
