(1) Historically Black colleges and universities
(HBCU’s), tribally controlled community colleges,
and Navajo community colleges have, as part of
their overall mission, educated and provided oppor-
tunities to lower-income and minority students who
may not have otherwise been afforded opportunities
to obtain a higher degree;
(2) the Congress has already recognized the
need for these institutions by passage of such legis-
lation as part B, title III of the Higher Education
Act of 1965 (Strengthening Historically Black Col-
leges and Universities), the Tribally Controlled Com-
munity College Assistance Act of 1978, and the
Navajo Community College Act;
(3) at current Federal student loan default rate
thresholds, one-third of HBCU’s, and many of the
tribally controlled and Navajo community colleges
may be deemed ineligible for participation in the
Federal student loan program, and many more will
be subject to review under part H of the Program
Integrity Triad, jeopardizing the continued existence
of these institutions; and
(4) there exists a need to reexamine the criteria
used to determine exclusion from title IV programs,
in order to more accurately predict loan mismanage-
ment, fraud, and abuse, and offer fairer standards
to those institutions that disproportionately educate
students of lower economic backgrounds.
SEC. 2. EXTENSION OF EXEMPTION.
Section 435(a)(2)(C) of the Higher Education Act of
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1085(a)(2)(C)) is amended by striking
‘‘July 1, 1994’’ and inserting ‘‘July 1, 1998’’.
