      Sec. 10a-25i. Appropriation. Solicitation of private funds; disbursement. (a) 
Annual appropriations not to exceed in total one per cent of the total General Fund 
appropriation for the preceding year for the constituent units of the state system of 
higher education shall be made to said constituent units to support centers of excellence 
recommended for funding pursuant to section 10a-25j. The amount of funds going to 
any one constituent unit annually shall not exceed one per cent of the General Fund 
appropriation for such unit in the preceding year.
      (b) The constituent units of the state system of higher education, not including the 
Board for State Academic Awards, are authorized to solicit, receive and maintain funds 
from private sources to be used for the centers of excellence.
      (P.A. 84-368, S. 2, 5; P.A. 86-283, S. 2.)
      History: Editorial addition of the phrase "of higher education" in references to board of governors was made to conform 
with provisions of P.A. 84-241, S. 2; P.A. 86-283 substituted "annual appropriations" for "an annual appropriation", 
inserted "in total", and provided that appropriations be made to the constituent units to support centers of excellence rather 
than to the department of higher education for the fund for excellence in Subsec. (a), and in Subsec. (b) substituted the 
constituent units for the board of governors and "centers of" for "fund for" excellence and deleted provisions re allocation 
of private funds.
