The University Board took steps toward righting a wrong at its meeting Tuesday night.

The UB suspended a bylaw that states a coordinator must have two semesters remaining before graduation, a bylaw it originally broke with its election of concert coordinator Donna Fernandez last week.

Fernandez graduates in May.

The UB also re-voted Tuesday after it took several votes in executive session during a meeting last week — a direct violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act.

The UB voted 6-1 to suspend the bylaw, with two on the executive committee abstaining. The board voted 6-2 with three abstentions to elect Fernandez.

The board unanimously agreed to create a coordinator-elect position and voted unanimously to elect freshman history major David Jones to that position.

“We just wanted to make everything right,” Judy said. “We wanted to put all of this behind us.”

The board didn’t take any steps to comply with a bylaw that states the board must have all expenses over $10 approved by the executive committee.
