No funds, including state appropriations, federal pass-throughs, indirect cost recoveries, or any other revenues, shall be transferred, loaned, or otherwise moved between the PSA Fund and the E&G fund (or any auxiliary, restricted, or other funds under the administrative control of the greater University), except when provided as a fee-for-service or a standard cost allocation methodology, without the approval of the majority of the Clemson University Board of Trustees. Any fees-for-services or allocation of costs must be reported to the Clemson University Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis.
