(a) The excellence in higher education endowment fund is created as provided by W.S. 9-4-204(u)(vi).

(b) In addition to the excellence in higher education endowment fund, a student scholarship endowment fund, to be known as the Hathaway student scholarship endowment fund, is established as provided by W.S. 9-4-204(u)(vii).

(c) The state treasurer shall place earnings from the investment of monies in the excellence in higher education endowment fund in an income account for subsequent disbursement as provided in this subsection. Earnings for any fiscal year which are in excess of the spending policy amount established pursuant to W.S. 9-4-719(o) shall be distributed as provided by W.S. 9-4-719(m). The institutions receiving distributions of earnings within the spending policy amount pursuant to this subsection shall only expend ninety percent (90%) of the distribution in fiscal years in which the spending policy amount specified in W.S. 9-4-719(o) is reached or exceeded. In any fiscal year in which the spending policy amount specified in W.S. 9-4-719(o) is not reached, the shortfall in distributions an institution would have received if the spending policy amount had been reached shall be made up in equal parts by an authorization for the institution to expend funds saved under this subsection when the spending policy amount is reached or exceeded and an equal amount appropriated from the excellence in higher education endowment reserve account as provided in W.S. 9-4-719(n). Earnings within the spending policy amount shall be distributed at the times provided in W.S. 9-4-108 as follows:

(i) Two-thirds (2/3) to the University of Wyoming;
