All contracts and agreements entered into by the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities on behalf of Chicago State University, Eastern Illinois University, Governors State University, Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University, Northern Illinois University and Western Illinois University prior to January 1, 1996, the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995, shall be valid and shall subsist notwithstanding the abolition of the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities and the repeal of the Board of Governors Act on January 31, 1996 and notwithstanding the transfer of the functions of the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities with respect to each such university to the new board of trustees created for such university as provided by law. All bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness outstanding on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995 issued by the Teachers College Board or the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities on behalf of any such university shall become the bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of that university and shall be otherwise unaffected by the transfer of functions to the new board of trustees of that university.
