The University shall deposit the amount so repaid to it in a university bank account within the time period established for like amounts in Section 2 of the State Officers and Employees Money Disposition Act, to be credited to the University Income Fund established by the University in its own treasury for purposes of this paragraph. | ||

| (2) The following items of income shall be retained by the University in its own treasury: endowment funds, gifts, trust funds, and Federal aid; funds received in connection with contracts with governmental, public, or private agencies or persons, for research or services including funds which are paid as reimbursement to the University; funds received in connection with reserves authorized by Section 10-60 of the Eastern Illinois University Law; funds received in connection with its operation of research and high technology parks and with the retention, receipt, assignment, license, sale or transfer of interests in, rights to, or income from discoveries, inventions, patents, or copyrightable works; funds retained by the University under the authority of paragraph (3), (4) or (5) of this Section; and funds received from the operation of student or staff residence facilities, student and staff medical and health programs, Union buildings, bookstores, farms, stores, and other auxiliary enterprises or activities which are self-supporting in whole or in part. | ||
| Any income derived from such auxiliary enterprises or activities which is not necessary to their support, maintenance, or development shall not, however, be applied to any general operational or educational purposes but shall be retained by the University in its own treasury and credited to the University Income Fund that it shall establish in its treasury as provided in paragraph (1) of this Section. | ||
| (3) The Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University may retain in its treasury any funds derived from rentals, service charges and laboratory and building service charges or other sources, assessed or obtained for or arising out of the operation of any building or buildings or structure or structures and pledged to discharge obligations created in order to complete or operate such building or structure, or for the payment of revenue bonds issued for such University by the Teachers College Board, the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities or the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University, such funds to be disbursed from time to time pursuant to the order and direction of the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University, and in accordance with any contracts, pledges, trusts or agreements heretofore made with respect thereto by the Teachers College Board or the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities, or hereafter made by the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University. | ||

| Such funds as are so pledged shall annually be credited to the account to which the pledge applies. | ||
| Such funds as are supplementarily allocated by Board resolution subsequent to the resolution creating the bonds shall be credited in accordance with the terms of the resolution making such supplementary allocation to the account to which the allocation applies. The Board may authorize such supplementation only after a determination by it that the maximum revenues which may reasonably and economically be derived from the operation of a building proposed to be constructed or acquired under the Act under which the bonds therefor are issued will be insufficient to meet the costs of operation and maintenance and to pay the principal of and interest on bonds so issued for such building, or after a determination by it that the maximum revenues which may reasonably and economically be derived from the operation of a building already constructed or acquired under the Act under which the bonds therefor were issued are or will be insufficient to meet the costs of operation and maintenance and to pay the principal of and interest on bonds issued for such building. | ||
| In no event shall the supplementation from University income be in excess of an amount which, when added to the revenues to be derived from the operation of the building or buildings, will be sufficient to meet the annual debt service requirements on the bonds issued in respect to such building or buildings, the annual cost of maintenance or operation of such building or buildings, and to provide for such reserves, accounts or covenants which the resolution authorizing the issuing of such bonds may require. | ||
| (5) The Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University may also retain in its treasury (a) all moneys received from the sale of all bonds issued under the Eastern Illinois University Revenue Bond Law, (b) all fees, rentals and other charges from students, staff members and others using or being served by, or having the right to use or the right to be served by, or to operate any project acquired under the Eastern Illinois University Revenue Bond Law, (c) all tuition, registration, matriculation, health, hospital, medical, laboratory, admission, student activities, student services, and all other fees collected from students matriculated, registered or otherwise enrolled at and attending the University pledged under the terms of any resolution authorizing bonds, or authorizing a supplemental allocation of fees for debt service of bonds theretofore issued pursuant to the Eastern Illinois University Revenue Bond Law, and (d) all rentals from any facility or building acquired under the Eastern Illinois University Revenue Bond Law and leased to the United States of America. | ||
| (6) Whenever funds retained by the University in its own treasury as provided in this Section are deposited with a bank or savings and loan association and the amount of the deposit exceeds the amount of federal deposit insurance coverage, a bond or pledged securities shall be obtained. Only the types of securities which the State Treasurer may, in his discretion, accept for amounts not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation under Section 11 of the Deposit of State Moneys Act may be accepted as pledged securities. The market value of the bond or pledged securities shall at all times be equal to or greater than the uninsured portion of the deposit. | ||
| (7) The Auditor General shall audit or cause to be audited all items of income referred to in this Section and all other income and expenditures of the University. | ||

Prohibition; exceptions. |
| (a) The governing board of a State institution of higher learning may not permit or authorize a retail store carrying any line of general merchandise to be operated by that institution or to be operated on property held or leased for the use of the institution when such an operation can reasonably be expected to be in competition with private retail merchants in the community, unless the goods sold by that store are unavailable in quantities sufficient to meet the reasonably expected student demand, are unavailable on a year round basis or were commonly sold by the institution or on such property before January 1, 1980. | ||
| The governing board of a State institution of higher learning also may not permit or authorize any person to conduct a business of selling goods, services, or a combination thereof to the general public on property held or leased for the use of the institution when such an operation can reasonably be expected to be in competition with private retail merchants in the community unless such merchants have the opportunity to compete for the operation of such a business on such property.

Enforcement; violations. Whenever the Attorney General of this State has reason to believe that any person or retail store operated by a State institution of higher learning or operated on property held or leased for the use of the institution is using, has used, or is about to use any method, act or practice in violation of this Act and that proceedings would be in the public interest, he may bring an action in the name of the State against any person or retail store operated by a State institution of higher learning or operated on property held or leased for the use of the institution to restrain and prevent any violation of this Act. In the enforcement of this Act, the Attorney General may accept an assurance of discontinuance of any act or practice deemed in violation of this Act from any person or retail store operated by a State institution of higher learning or operated on property held or leased for the use of the institution engaging in, or that has engaged in, that act or practice. |
| Failure to perform the terms of any such assurance constitutes prima facie proof of a violation of this Act. | ||
