The Senate Higher Education Committee will hold a public hearing to |
|
address Interim Charge Seven: |
|
|
Review endowed funds at institutions of higher education to ensure |
|
compliance with all state laws and, in particular, the Uniform Prudent |
|
Management of Institutional Funds Act. Study and make recommendations for |
|
requiring all institutions of higher education to report annually to |
|
donors on the use of gifts and endowed funds. Review state laws to |
|
determine if they provide adequate oversight of these funds. Study the |
|
manner in which scholarship and other funds are given and bequeathed to |
|
institutions of higher education and make recommendations for ensuring |
|
that donors' wishes are honored while institutions are allowed appropriate |
|
flexibility with the use of the funds. |
