The Board of Governors of Higher Education shall, in consultation with representatives
of the board of trustees of the constituent units, including faculty, develop guidelines
for identifying centers of excellence. Initial proposals for funding centers of excellence

Higher Education shall select a committee, including faculty and staff representatives
from constituent units, to review proposals and make recommendations to the board.
The Board of Governors of Higher Education shall: (1) Consider and select proposals;
(2) request as part of its consolidated budget, pursuant to section 10a-6, appropriations
to support centers of excellence recommended for funding pursuant to this section; and
(3) provide for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the centers of excellence in meeting
the goals established in subsection (a) of section 10a-25h.
(P.A. 84-368, S. 3, 5; P.A. 86-283, S. 3.)
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 the requirement that the board of governors of higher education
contract with the constituent units with the requirement that it request appropriations to support centers of excellence and
substituted "centers of" for "fund for" excellence.
