If the funding guidelines are not operational by December 1, 2000, the Governor
is requested to put in the fiscal 2002 operating budget and each subsequent operating
budget until the funding guidelines are developed, the fiscal 2001 minimum funding
levels, adjusted annually for inflation in accordance with the Higher Education Price

universities exceed the State's ability to fund these projects, the Regents should
identify alternative capital funding sources to meet these needs. The Regents should
submit the plan to the Governor and, in accordance with § 2-1246 of the State
