EL PASO COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
BOARD POLICY
4.04.01
GRANTS
The Board may accept money from a federal, state and local government agency or private entity as long as any
restrictions as to the use of such money are in accord with the purposes of the District as defined in College Policy and as
enumerated by Section 130.003, Texas Education Code. The Board may accept such grants upon the recommendation of the
President of the College who shall enumerate the donor agency, amount and purposes or restrictions to the Board.
The acceptance of a grant creates a contract between the grantor and the District under which moneys paid over to the
District are charged with the obligation to be used for the purposes and subject to the conditions of the grant. In the case of
federal grants, the United States government maintains a reversionary interest in the unencumbered balances of such grants,
including any funds improperly applied.
Op. Comptroller Gen. of the United States. No. B-149441, December 6, 1992.
Upon acceptance of any external grant, the College will ensure that grant-funded activities do not replace general
educational offerings in the more appropriate educational facilities or endanger the continuity of support for general
institutional activities. Furthermore, the College will ensure that no dependency exists either on direct grant funding or on
indirect cost allowances from grants in terms of its regular operating budget or any aspect of its regular educational program.
The President of the College shall be responsible for insuring that the District complies with all terms and conditions
of grants to the District, including all terms and conditions incorporated by reference.
