Summary


Amendment 1 does two things. First, it sets up a process to make sure that no more than three of the members of the Auburn University Board of Trustees will have terms that end in the same year. Second, it adds two more at-large members to the board who are intended to add diversity to the Board. This increases the size of the Board from 14 to 16 total members with 5 at-large members.

If the majority of the voters vote “Yes” on Amendment 1, no more than three of the members of the Auburn University Board of Trustees will have terms that end in the same year and two more at-large members will be added to the board.

If the majority of voters vote “No” on Amendment 1, the Auburn University Board of Trustees will not be able to limit the number of board member terms expiring in the same year and two more at-large members will not be added to the board.
