AI Summary
- Reduces the VCU Health System Authority board of directors from 21 to 16 members, with 13 appointed members and 3 ex officio members (down from 19 appointed and 2 ex officio)
- Changes board leadership structure so the chairman must be elected biennially from members with at least two years of service, rather than having the University president serve as chairman; the president now serves ex officio without voting privileges
- Prohibits the Senior Vice-President for Health Sciences from serving as chief executive officer of the Authority, requiring the CEO to be a separate position selected jointly by the Authority board and University board of visitors
- Extends board member terms from three years to four years and requires a majority of board members to have no direct affiliation with VCU or the Authority outside their board service
- Removes the University president's authority to make final decisions on CEO selection, removal, or appointment conditions when committees disagree; instead requires the process to repeat until agreement is reached
Legislative Description
