The terms of all Council members shall be for one calendar year renewable for a maximum of three years. Unscheduled vacancies shall be filled immediately, by the same means as the original appointment, to cover the unexpired balance of the term.

The Chair of the Journalism Department and the university controller, or their representatives, to provide information, shall sit as ex officio, nonvoting members.
