A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA TO BE USED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL AS PLANNING FUNDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT THE SCHOOL OF LAW AND THE INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT.
Whereas, the School of Law and the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill need funding for planning capital improvements; and
Whereas, in order to continue to compete with its peer institutions, UNC's School of Law needs to upgrade its physical facilities; and
Whereas, among the needs of the School of Law are additional small and mid-size classrooms, space for private and group study and library functions, office space to accommodate additional permanent and adjunct faculty, and improved lighting and wiring for up-to-date technological needs; and
Whereas, the inadequacy of the facilities at the School of Law has resulted in a lower national ranking and criticism by the American Bar Association in its reaccreditation review; and
Whereas, the students at the School of Law have agreed to pay a substantial fee and the school's alumni have contributed to the support of the school; 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 three million seven hundred thousand dollars ($3,700,000) for the 1994-95 fiscal year to be allocated to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as follows:
(1)	$3,000,000 for planning funds for capital projects at the School of Law; and
(2)	$700,000 for planning funds for capital projects at the Institute of Government.
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1994.
