Summary

The measure would require new university construction projects to set aside 1% of building costs each year in an escrow account for future maintenance. It also directs the transfer of real‑property, contracts, and debt from the University of South Florida Sarasota/Manatee to New College of Florida, with New College making monthly payments until the transfer is complete. Additional changes loosen out‑of‑state tuition caps and remove certain administrative requirements.
