(2) One (1) member of the house of representatives appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives for a two (2) year term. A vacancy occurs if an appointee under this subdivision ceases to be a member of the house of representatives.
(3) One (1) member of the senate appointed by the president pro tempore of the senate for a two (2) year term. A vacancy occurs if an appointee under this subdivision ceases to be a member of the senate.
(4) Two (2) persons from the field of higher education appointed by the governor as at-large members for a term of four (4) years. A vacancy occurs if an appointee under this subdivision leaves the field of higher education.
(b) A member serves at the pleasure of the appointing authority and may be removed for any reason.
(c) A member serves until the expiration of the member's term or the appointing authority appoints a successor, whichever is later. However, this subsection does not apply if the vacancy occurs because a member ceases to be the governor or a member of the general assembly.
(d) The appointing authority shall fill a vacancy for the remainder of the term of the vacating member.
