The board of trustees shall also submit an annual institutional spending plan to the council for review, comment, and transmittal to the secretary for administration and finance, the house and senate committees on ways and means and the joint committee on education, arts and humanities.

  • The board of trustees of each institution may delegate to the president of such institution any of the powers and responsibilities herein enumerated.
  • The commonwealth shall indemnify a trustee of a community college or state college against loss by reason of the liability to pay damages to a party for any claim arising out of any official judgment, decision, or conduct of said trustee; provided, however, that said trustee has acted in good faith and without malice; and provided, further, that the defense or settlement of such claim shall have been made by the attorney general or his designee. If a final judgment or decree is entered in favor of a party other than said trustee, the clerk of the court where such judgment or decree is entered shall, within twenty-one days after the final disposition of the claim, provide said trustee with a certified copy of such judgment or entry of decree, showing the amount due from said trustee, who shall transmit the same to the comptroller who shall forthwith notify the governor; and the governor shall draw his warrant for such amount on the state treasurer, who shall pay the same from appropriations made for the purpose by the general court.
