Title VII_concerns construction, reconstruction, and_renovation of academic facilities. Title IX provides grants to colleges to support graduate study. To assist in maintaining academic facilities, Title VII provides grants to undergraduate and graduate facilities as well as loans to colleges for building and renovation. It is estimated that the physical plant of higher education has a replacement value of $200 billion, and 20% of 1tbat plant needs replacement or renewal, with a total cost_of $40_ it_is recommended_that_taxexempt financing for public and private college facilities be retained, testimony suggests that a small_percentage of colleges have been able to obtain private financing to replace/renew facilities. The future of the college housing program is also considered in the hearings. In the area of graduate study, a bill, H.R. 2199, has been proposed to provide funds on a competitive basis to colleges to set up graduate fellowship programs for specific disciplines_of national needs.
