Sen. Eckerty’s SB 56 would permit members of the Ball State board of trustees to be non-residents of Indiana. They would still have to be residents of the United States.
I’m not sure I see a rationale for removing the Indiana residency requirement that would not also argue for removing the U.S. residency requirement.
As a Ball State grad, I can only assume that this would allow election of trustees who are Ball State alums but not Indiana residents. Otherwise I don’t see where this is coming from.
