As a condition of receiving state funds, every public institution of higher education shall agree to submit to binding dispute resolution with regard to disputes among public institutions of higher education that involve jurisdictional boundaries or the use or expenditure of any state resources whatsoever, as determined by the coordinating board. In all cases, the arbitrator shall be the commissioner of higher education or his or her designee, whose decision shall be binding on all parties. Any institution aggrieved by a decision of the commissioner may appeal such decision, in which instance the case shall be reviewed by the full coordinating board, at which time the full coordinating board shall have the authority to make a binding and final decision, by means of a majority vote, regarding the matter.
