Approved as amended by ED's 8/4/92 memorandum to OMB. In addition, ED shall meet the following conditions: -- Large proporietary schools, many of which offer less-than-two-year degrees, shall complete the full IPEDS package. These large institutions should not be exempted from this requirement on the groun that they are small businesses. ED shall submit its proposed cut-off point for which institutions receive the full package, vs. the consolidated form for the smaller schools, to OMB prior to adminsterin the next IPEDS. -- ED shall provide OMB with a justification as to the utility of information on which services a school contracts for or receives throu a donation. This question appears on an EEO form, and appears to have little connection to the subject of that form.
