 5        Beginning with fiscal year 2004, and in each fiscal  year
 6    thereafter,  the University shall use and apply not less than
 7    33% of the amount by which aggregate State funds received  by
 8    the  University  for the current fiscal year exceed aggregate
 9    State funds received by the University  for  the  immediately
10    preceding  fiscal  year,  if  there  is  an  increase, to (i)

                            -12-     LRB093 06093 NHT 06198 b
 1    to  supplement  and  not  to  replace  any existing full-time
 2    tenured or nontenured faculty member and (ii) be used  solely
 3    in  those  instances  in which a full-time position cannot be
 4    generated or when  specialized  services  that  no  full-time
 5    tenured  or  nontenured faculty member is competent to render
 6    are required.
 7        (b)  The Board shall achieve, on  a  phased-in  basis  as
 8    provided   in  this  subsection  (b),  a  ratio  between  its
 9    full-time faculty members and part-time teachers under  which

20    State funds received by the University  for  the  immediately
21    preceding  fiscal  year,  if  there  is  an  increase, to (i)
22    increase  the  number  of   full-time   equivalent   teaching

29    number  of  full-time  equivalent  teaching  positions in the
