IL HR0074

Urges Governor Quinn to return to selecting State university trustees from lists provided and vetted by each university's alumni association.

Criticizes past two gubernatorial administrations for failing to consult alumni associations before making trustee appointments to State universities.

Acknowledges that alumni status alone should not automatically qualify or disqualify trustee candidates, but emphasizes trustees should have a longstanding relationship with their institution.

States that successful trustee candidates should demonstrate an "intangible love" for the institution of higher education they would serve.

Directs delivery of the resolution to Governor Quinn.
