§18-23-6. Bonds of officers and employees of state institutions of higher education.
The governing boards shall have authority to cause the head officer or any other officer of any state institution of higher education or any employee thereof under its control or management in whole or in part, or any of its own employees, to give bond, in such sum as the governing boards may require, conditioned for the faithful performance of their duties, and for accounting for and paying over all money and other property of the state which shall come into their hands or control by virtue of their office. The governing boards may provide that the surety in any such bond shall be a surety or bonding company authorized to do business in this state, and cause the premiums for bonds so given to be paid out of the current or contingent expense fund of the institution or governing board with which the person so bound is connected. All such bonds shall be approved by the attorney general as to form, and by the governing boards as to sufficiency, and, when so approved, shall be filed with the treasurer of the governing boards and by him recorded and safely kept.
