- The Higher Education Act of 1965 as Amended through P.L. 97-301. Recommendations for Reauthorization. College Buildings College Libraries Construction Programs Continuing Education Federal Aid Federal Legislation Higher Education International Education Research Libraries Student Financial Aid Teacher Education Urban Universities Recommendations of the Indiana Conference of Higher Education (ICHE) concerning reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965 are presented. Titles I-XI are covered: continuing education programs, college and research library aid, and library training and research, institutional aid, student financial aid, teacher corps and teacher training programs, international education programs, construction/reconstruction/renovation of academic facilities, cooperative education, graduate programs, the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, and the Urban Grant University Program. Because access to college is a major concern, the ICHE places highest priority on Title IV, dealing with student aid. Congress is urged to continue Title IV at the current funding level. Since campus facility deterioration and aging are a common issue, the next priority is Title VII, Construction, Reconstruction, and Renovation of Academic Facilities. When the federal government's fiscal condition permits, a focus should be funding to repair college buildings, especially laboratory facilities. Lists of colleges comprising ICHE and task force members are appended. along with the July 15, 1985 issue of the "Congressional Record," which summarizes ICHE's recommendations. (SW)
