                         WASHINGTON, D.C. 2054B





B-197464                       February 11, 1980






The Honorable Harrison A. Williams
Chairman, Committee on Labor and
  Human Resources
United States Senate

Dear Mr. Chairman:

    This letter provides our omments on S. 21301 96th
Congress, a bill cited as th@-Developing Institutions
Amendments of 1979. Our views concerning the defini-
tion of developing institution, as contained in section
301(b) (1) , are provided.

    The proposed bill provides that the term developing
institution means an institution of higher education

    (A) the enrollment of which includes a substantial
    percentage of students from low-income families, and

    (B) the average educational and general expenditures
    of which are low, per full-time equivalent student,
    in comparison with the average educational and general
    expenditures per full-time equivalent student of in-
    stitutions that offer similar instruction.

    The bill also provides that such term also includes
an institution of higher education that does not meet the
criterion contained in subparagraph (B) if the Secretary
determines, based on persuasive evidence submitted by the
institution, that the institution's failure to meet that
criterion is due to factors which, when used in the deter-
mination of compliance with such criterion, distort such
determination, and that the institution's designation as
a developing institution is otherwise consistent with the
purposes of this title.
