Members present: Representatives O'Hara, Mottl, Erlenborn, and Staff present: Jim Harrison, staff director; Elnora Teets, clerk; [H.R. 3470, 94th Cong., 1st sess.] A BILL To extend and amend the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and for other purposes Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as the “Higher Education Amendment of 1975". SEC. 2. (a) After title XI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, there is inserted the following new title: "TITLE XII-INSTITUTIONAL AID "SEC. 1201. (a) Each institution of higher education shall be entitled for each fiscal year to a cost-of-education payment in accordance with the provisions of this section. (b) (1) The amount of the cost-of-education payment to which an institution shall be entitled under this section for a fiscal year shall be, subject to subsection (d), the amount determined under paragraph (2) (A) plus the amount determined under paragraph (2) (B). "(2) (A) (i) The Commissioner shall determine the amount to which an institution is entitled under this subparagraph on the basis of the total number of undergraduate students who are in attendance at the institution and the number of students who are also recipients of basic grants under subpart 1 of part A of title IV, in accordance with the following table: "If the total number of stu dents in attendance is: Not over 1,000‒‒‒‒. Over 1,000 but not over 2,500 The amount of the grant is: $500 for each recipient. $500 for each of 100 recipients; plus $400 for New XII "If the total number of students in attendance isContinued Over 2,500 but not over 5,000 Over 5,000 but not over 10,000 Over 10,000__ The amount of the grant is-Continued $500 for each of 100 recipients; plus $400 for each of 150 recipients in excess of 100; plus $300 for each recipient in excess of 250. $500 for each 100 recipients; plus $400 for each of 150 recipients in excess of 100; plus $300 for each of 250 recipients in excess of 250; plus $200 for each recipient in excess of 500. $500 for each of the 100 recipients; plus $400 for each of 150 recipients in excess of 100; plus $300 for each of 250 recipients in excess of 250; plus $200 for each of 500 recipients in excess of 500; plus $100 for each recipient in excess of 1,000. “(ii) In any case where a recipient of a basic grant under subpart 1 of part A of title IV attends an institution receiving a cost-of-education payment under this subpart on less than a full-time basis, the amount determined under this subparagraph with respect to that student shall be reduced in proportion to the degree to which that student is not attending on a full-time basis. “(iii) If during any period of any fiscal year the funds available for making payments on the basis of entitlements established under this subparagraph are insufficient to satisfy fully all such entitlements, the amount paid with respect to each such entitlement shall be ratably reduced. When additional funds become available for such purpose, the amount of payment from such additional funds shall be in proportion to the degree to which each such entitlement is unsatisfied by the payments made under the first sentence of this division. "(B) (i) The Commissioner shall determine with respect to each institution an amount equal to the appropriate per centum (specified on the table below) of the aggregate of "(I) supplemental educational opportunity grants under subpart 2 of part A of title IV; "(II) work-study payments under part C of title IV; and made for such year to students who are in attendance at such institution. The Commissioner shall determine such amounts on the basis of percentages of such aggregate, and the number of students in attendance at institutions during the most recent academic year ending prior to such fiscal year, in accordance with the following table: "If the number of students in attendance at the institution is Not over 1,000‒‒‒‒‒ Over 1,000 but not over 3,000- The percentage of such aggregate shall be 50 per centum. 46 per centum. 42 per centum. "(ii) If during any period of any fiscal year the funds available for making payments on the basis of entitlements established under this subparagraph are insufficient to satisfy fully all such entitlements, the amount paid with respect to each such entitlement shall be ratably reduced. When additional funds become available for such purpose, the amount of payment from such additional funds shall be in proportion to the degree to which each such entitlement is unsatisfied by the payments made under the first sentence of this division. "(3) (A) In determining the number of students in attendance at institutions of higher education under this subsection, the Commissioner shall compute the full-time equivalent of part-time students. "(B) The Commissioner shall make a separate determination of the number of students in attendance at an institution of higher education and the number of recipients of basic grants at any such institution at each branch or separate campus of that institution located in a different community from the principal campus of that institution pursuant to criteria established by him. "(c) (1) An institution of higher education may receive a cost-of-education payment in accordance with this section only upon application therefor. An application under this section shall be submitted at such time or times, in such manner, and containing such information as the Commissioner determines necessary to carry out his functions under this title, and shall "(A) set forth such policies, assurances, and procedures as will insure that- "(ii) the funds received by the institution under this section will "(iii) the applicant will expend, during the academic year for which a payment is sought, for all academically related programs of the institution, an amount equal to at least the average amount so expended during the three years preceding the year for which the grant is sought; and "(iv) the applicant will submit to the Commissioner such reports as the Commissioner may require by regulation; and "(B) contain such other statement of policies, assurances, and procedures as the Commissioner may require by regulation in order to protect the financial interests of the United States. "(d) (1) The Commissioner shall pay to each institution of higher education "(A) 45 per centum shall be available for making payments on the basis (C) 10 per centum shall be available for making payments on the basis "(3) No payments on the basis of entitlements established under paragraph (2) (A) of subsection (a) may be made during any fiscal year for which the appropriations for making grants under subpart 1 of part A of title IV does not equal at least 50 per centum of the appropriation necessary for satisfying the total of all entitlements established under such subart. In no event shall, during any fiscal year, the aggregate of the payments to which this paragraph applies exceed that percentage of the total entitlements established under such paragraph (2) (A) which equals the percentage of the total entitlements established under subpart 1 of part A of title IV which are satisfied by appropriations for such purpose for that fiscal year.". (b) Title XII of said Act is redesignated as title XIII, and the following new section is added at the end thereof: "SEC. 1307. (a) In addition to the authority to appropriate and obligate funds and to carry out programs conferred by this Act, there are hereby authorized to be appropriated by the Congress and obligated by the appropriate agencies such sums as the Congress shall deem appropriate for the carrying out of programs authorized by this Act through the fiscal year ending September 30, 1980. "(b) The total of the payments made under part F of title IX and title XII of this Act may not exceed $1,000,000,000 during any fiscal year.". Mr. O'HARA. This morning, the subcommittee begins its hearings on H.R. 3470, a bill to extend the existing provisions of the Higher Education Act, other than the student assistance provisions, as they currently read, without substantive change, through the end of fiscal year 1980. I want to reiterate again this morning what I have said on a number of occasions with regard to H.R. 3470. This bill is a vehicle. It represents no conclusions by its author as to how the non-student-aid provisions of the Higher Education Act should, in fact, read in the years just ahead. We may, at the conclusion of these hearings, decide |
