The Council consists of 13 members appointed for four-year terms (except appointments that fill vacancies occurring shall be appointed for the unexpired term). There are 12 members appointed by the Governor and subject to confirmation by the General Assembly and one ex officio member. At least one appointee shall have served as a president or chief executive of a public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth. At least one member shall be a sitting Virginia school superintendent, either at the state or local level. The President of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership shall serve ex officio with voting privileges. All terms begin July 1.
The Council meets six times per year and all meetings are open to the public. Three meetings are held in Richmond at the SCHEV offices; two are held on a public college campus on a rotating basis; and one is held at a private institution. In addition, the Council typically holds a joint meeting once a year with the public college presidents.
The Council operates under a committee structure, determined by the Council Chair. The current standing committees are the Executive Committee, the Academic Affairs Committee, and the Resource and Planning Committee. The chair may appoint such other standing committees or ad hoc committees from time to time as deemed appropriate or to ensure the efficient disposition of the Council’s work. The chair shall specify the purpose and duration of any ad hoc committee. Additional meetings may be scheduled at the call of the chair.
