Appropriate department, agency or institution heads may employ such students through the use of funds resulting from unfilled positions in their personal services budgets. [PL 1975, c. 211 (NEW).]
Each student must be approved by the institution he attends and the agency, department or institution head. [PL 1975, c. 211 (NEW).]

Cooperative education students will be classified as project employees and will be governed by all policies and entitled to all rights and privileges afforded such employees, except that they shall be paid at the prevailing minimum wage.
