Article III - State Aid for Universities and Student Financial Aid (388.1836...388.1894)
Section 388.1876 - Martin Luther King, Jr. – Cesar Chavez – Rosa Parks Future Faculty Program.

Sec. 276.
(1) Included in the appropriation for fiscal year 2022-2023 for each public university in section 236 is funding for the Martin Luther King, Jr. - Cesar Chavez - Rosa Parks future faculty program that is intended to increase the pool of academically or economically disadvantaged candidates pursuing faculty teaching careers in postsecondary education in this state. Preference may not be given to applicants on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, gender, or national origin. Institutions should encourage applications from applicants who would otherwise not adequately be represented in the graduate student and faculty populations. Each public university shall apply the percentage change applicable to every public university in the calculation of appropriations in section 236 to the amount of funds allocated to the future faculty program.
(2) Each public university shall administer the program in a manner prescribed by the department of labor and economic opportunity. The department of labor and economic opportunity shall use a good faith effort standard to evaluate whether a fellowship is in default. All of the following apply to the program:
(a) By April 15 of each year, public universities shall report any anticipated unexpended or unencumbered program funds to the department of labor and economic opportunity. Encumbered funds are those funds that were committed by a fellowship agreement that is signed during the current fiscal year or administrative expenses that have been approved by the department of labor and economic opportunity.
(b) Before August 1 of each year, unexpended or unencumbered funds may be transferred, under the direction of the department of labor and economic opportunity, to a future faculty program at another university to be awarded to an eligible candidate at that university.
(c) Program allocations not expended or encumbered by September 30, 2024 must be returned to the department of labor and economic opportunity so that those funds may lapse to the state general fund.
(d) Not more than 5% of each public university's allocation for the program may be used for administration of the program.
(e) In addition to the appropriation for fiscal year 2022-2023, any revenue received during prior fiscal years by the department of labor and economic opportunity from defaulted fellowship agreements is appropriated for the purposes originally intended.
