   (a) The Board of Regents shall establish a separate endowment trust fund in which shall be held in trust in perpetuity all
        (1) net income derived from the sale or lease of the land granted under the Act of Congress approved January 21, 1929, as amended;
        (2) net income derived from the sale, lease, or management of the land conveyed to the Board of Regents in trust for the University of Alaska under AS 14.40.365; however, the amount deposited in the endowment trust fund under this paragraph resulting from mineral lease royalties and royalty sales proceeds may not be less than 25 percent of all such mineral lease royalties and royalty sales proceeds received by the university; and
        (3) monetary gifts, bequests, or endowments made to the University of Alaska for the purpose of the fund.
   (b) The Board of Regents is the fiduciary of the fund. The Board of Regents shall account for and invest the fund. In carrying out its investment responsibilities under this subsection, the Board of Regents has the same powers and duties with respect to the fund as are provided or required under AS 37.10.071 and AS 13.65 (Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act).

   (d) The proceeds arising from the sale or disposal of land granted under the Act of Congress approved January 21, 1929, as amended, may not be used for the support of a sectarian or denominational college or school.

        (1) "fund" means the separate endowment trust fund established under (a) of this section;
        (2) "total return" means the total earning of the fund, including current yield, gains, and capital appreciation, less all costs, expenses, losses, and capital depreciation.
