$ ,so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2007-2008, for the purposes of planning and constructing the University of Hawaii's West Oahu campus; provided that the University of Hawaii's West Oahu college shall establish a teacher education program capable of annually graduating a minimum of three hundred teachers by no later than 2014.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. The appropriation made for the capital improvement project authorized by this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriation is made; provided that all moneys from the appropriation unencumbered as of June 30, 2010, shall lapse as of that date.
