AL Code § 16-57-5 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 16 - Education.|Chapter 57 - Tuskegee Institute.|Section 16-57-5 - Funding From Education Trust Fund.

Section 16-57-5Funding from Education Trust Fund. The Legislature finds that Tuskegee University has a unique relationship to the State of Alabama. The Legislature further finds that due to the unique nature of the circumstances related to the establishment and development of Tuskegee Institute which differs from that of private schools and colleges receiving funds from the state and from the state's public colleges and universities, the institution should be afforded a unique treatment relative to funding from the Education Trust Fund. Tuskegee Institute was established by an act of the Legislature in 1881 and separately incorporated by an act of the Legislature in 1892; the Governor appoints five commissioners who serve as voting members on the Tuskegee Board; and the State Superintendent of Education serves as an ex officio voting commissioner on the Tuskegee Board. Tuskegee has received appropriations from the Legislature since 1881. Being a private institution as well as a state related and supported institution, the Legislature deems that Tuskegee University should be funded accordingly and not as the private schools and colleges nor as the state public colleges and universities are funded.

2021 Code of Alabama|Title 16 - Education.|Chapter 61 - Trust Fund for Eminent Scholars.|Section 16-61-1 - Legislative Intent.

Section 16-61-1Legislative intent. The Legislature recognizes that the following public universities in Alabama which grant baccalaureate degrees and are independently accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - the University of Alabama in Huntsville, the University of Alabama in Birmingham, the University of Alabama, Auburn University, Auburn University at Montgomery, Jacksonville State University, Troy State University, Troy State University in Montgomery, Troy State University in Dothan, the University of North Alabama, the University of South Alabama, Livingston University, the University of Montevallo, Alabama State University, Athens State College, and Alabama A & M University - would be greatly strengthened by the addition of distinguished scholars serving as resident faculty members. It further recognizes that support from sources other than state appropriations, student fees, federal funds, research grants, and any interest earned thereon will help strengthen the commitment of citizens and organizations in promoting excellence in these state universities. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to establish a trust fund to provide the opportunity to each of these institutions to receive grants from the trust fund to create endowments for selected eminent scholars to occupy chairs within the university's faculty.

The matching ratio for these grants shall be the same as outlined in Section 16-61-4. These funds and its matching amount may be used by a university foundation to increase its existing Eminent Scholars Fund or to establish an additional Eminent Scholars Fund.
