18 comply with the terms of the delegation.

20 the requirements of paragraph (a) are not liable for the

1 (8) RELEASE OF RESTRICTIONS ON USE OR INVESTMENT.--
2 (a) With the written consent of the donor, a governing
3 board may release, in whole or in part, a restriction imposed
4 by the applicable instrument on the use or investment of an
5 institutional fund.
6 (b) If written consent of the donor cannot be obtained
7 by reason of the donor's death, disability, unavailability, or
8 impossibility of identification, a governing board may
9 release, in whole or in part, a restriction imposed by the
10 applicable instrument on the use or investment of an
11 institutional fund if the fund has a total value of less than
12 $100,000 and if the governing board, in its fiduciary
13 judgment, concludes that the value of the fund is insufficient
14 to justify the cost of administration as a separate
15 institutional fund.
16 (c) If written consent of the donor cannot be obtained
17 by reason of the donor's death, disability, unavailability, or
18 impossibility of identification, a governing board may apply
19 in the name of the institution to the circuit court of the
20 county in which the institution is located for release of a
21 restriction imposed by the applicable instrument on the use or
22 investment of an institutional fund. The Attorney General
23 shall be notified of the application and shall be given an
24 opportunity to be heard. If the court finds that the
25 restriction is unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve,
26 or wasteful, it may by order release the restriction in whole
27 or in part. A release under this subsection may not change an
28 endowment fund to a fund that is not an endowment fund.
29 (d) A release under this subsection may not allow a
30 fund to be used for purposes other than the educational
31 purposes of the institution affected.
