It also provides for compre- hensive planning. Title III of this Act provides interest subsidy grants for financing the construction of academic facilities. Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-329) provides Federal grants to colleges for the purchase or installation of laboratory and other special equipment and materials, and tele- vision equipment and materials for closed circuit direct instruction. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Governor desig- nated the Board of Public Works as the State Commission to admin- ister the Act. In addition, the Governor appointed an Advisory Council to administer the program and make recommendations to the Board of Public Works. The Advisory Council, with staff assistance, developed a State Plan. These plans, approved by the Board of Public Works and the United States Commissioner of Education, became the blueprints for the operation of the programs in Maryland. The Advisory Council administers the program by providing staff; by establishing priorities for Federal grants among the participating colleges; by disseminating information; and, by maintaining liaison between the colleges in Maryland, the State Commission, and the United States Office of Education. Federal grants to higher education in Maryland during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971 through the programs administered by this Advisory Council exceeded $900,000. Operating expenses of the Coun- cil are met by Federal funds. |
