A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT AT THE FIVE HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITIES.
Whereas, the predominantly and historically black universities of The University of North Carolina have seen top faculty members leave those institutions for better and higher paying programs and jobs; and
Whereas, these institutions have, over the years, made significant and major contributions to the welfare and economy of the State of North Carolina; and 
Whereas, these institutions have suffered a decrease in enrollment because of an increase in enrollment standards; and 
Whereas, these institutions are in need of additional funding because of the crises that are apparent;  Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina the sum of twelve million five hundred thousand dollars ($12,500,000) for the 1989-90 fiscal year and twelve million five hundred thousand dollars ($12,500,000) for the 1990-91 fiscal year to be divided among the five historically and predominantly black institutions for enhancing their academic programs.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
