Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the president of the university of Massachusetts, upon the recommendation of the chancellor of the Worcester campus that resources are available from the unrestricted non-appropriated revenues received by said campus from the license agreements and services it provides to third parties, may make a payment to the General Fund of an amount representing all or part of the support provided by the commonwealth for the fringe benefits of university employees paid from state appropriated funds as such were determined for the Worcester campus for the fiscal years 1993 and 1994 under the September 22, 1992 memorandum of understanding between the secretary of administration and finance and said chancellor. These amounts may include support of the benefits provided by the state retirement system and/or the group insurance commission.
