The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 116-233(a) reads as rewritten:
"§116-233. Board of Trustees; appointment; terms of office.
(a)	There shall be a Board of Trustees of the School, which shall consist of 26 members:

(2)	Four members without regard to residency who shall be appointed by the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina;
(3)	Three members, ex officio, who shall be the chief academic officers, respectively, of constituent institutions. The Board of Governors shall in 1985 and quadrennially thereafter designate the three constituent institutions whose chief academic officers shall so serve, such designations to expire on June 30, 1989, and quadrennially thereafter;
(4)	The chief academic officer of a college or university in North Carolina other than a constituent institution, ex officio. The Board of Governors shall designate in 1985 and quadrennially thereafter which college or university whose chief academic officer shall so serve, such designation to expire on June 30, 1989, and quadrennially thereafter;
(5)	Two members appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the President of the Senate in accordance with G.S. 120-121;
(6)	Two members appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives in accordance with G.S. 120-121; and
(7)	Two members appointed by the Governor.
Sec. 2.  G.S. 116-233(d) reads as rewritten:
	(d) Members appointed under subdivisions (1) or (2) of subsection (a) of this section shall serve four-year terms. Eight of those terms shall expire June 30, 1993, and quadrennially thereafter, and eight of those terms shall expire June 30, 1995, and quadrennially thereafter. Only an ex officio member shall be eligible to serve more than two successive terms. Any vacancy in the membership of the Board of Trustees appointed under G.S. 116-233(a)(1) or (2) shall be reported promptly by the Secretary of the Board of Trustees to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina, which shall fill any such vacancy by appointment of a replacement member to serve for the balance of the unexpired term. Any vacancy in members appointed under G.S. 116-233(a)(5) or (6) shall be filled in accordance with G.S. 120-122. Any vacancy in members appointed under G.S. 116-233(a)(7) shall be filled by the Governor for the remainder of the unexpired term. Reapportionment of congressional districts does not affect the right of any member to complete the term for which the member was appointed."
