Lowell,

They are not degree granting or accredited so they do not qualify.  Sorry.

Ellen,

I don't know if this is a question for the whole list or not, but would an
association that exists solely for the purpose of supporting a group of schools
qualify for this program?  I work for the University of Maryland at Baltimore
and we have been working with the American Association of Dental Schools.  They
currently have some old DEC equipment with a limited amount of software and I
was wondering if they could be included under our CSLG agreement.

The AADS is a non-profit organization that works to foster enhanced standards in
dental schools, greater communication, etc.  They receive all of their funding
from membership fees charged to the member dental schools and, consequently,
they have not got lots of money.  This seems to me like the sort of organization
that may or may not fit into the description of institutions you have drawn,
depending on whether the lawyer you talk to looks at the spirit of the license
or the letter.  Any chance they fit the bill?

Thanks.

Lowell
