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; pursuant to P.A. 11-48, “Board of Governors of Higher Education” was changed editorially by the Revisors to “Board of Regents for Higher Education”, effective July 1, 2011.
