Notwithstanding the provisions of section fifty-seven hundred and six of this chapter, any lands owned by Cornell university upon which buildings have been heretofore or may hereafter be erected by the state for the purpose of any college, school or experiment station provided for in this article, together with such additional contiguous lands as may be deemed appropriate or needful to the purposes of any such college, school or experiment station, with such rights of way, for purposes of ingress and egress thereto and therefrom or for other purposes over other lands of Cornell university, as may be deemed necessary, may be conveyed by Cornell university to the people of the state, without consideration, pursuant to such agreement or agreements therefor as may be made between Cornell university and, with the approval of the director of the budget, the trustees of the state university of New York, acting for and on behalf of the people of the state.
