  4 17 directed to correct internal references in section 261.9 of
  4 18 the Code as necessary in conjunction with the enactment of
  4 19 this Act.  
  4 20                           EXPLANATION
  4 21    This bill authorizes the director of the department of
  4 22 education to appoint a designee to serve on the college
  4 23 student aid commission, strikes language referring to defunct
  4 24 federal law and a discontinued federal report, changes the
  4 25 point in time when interest will begin to accrue on loans made
  4 26 under the osteopathic physician recruitment program, and
  4 27 pushes the date on which the commission is required to submit
  4 28 a report on enrollment and employment information from
  4 29 December 15 to March 1.
  4 30    Congress in 1972 repealed the Higher Education Facilities
  4 31 Act of 1963 and provided that the programs authorized by Title
  4 32 VII of the Higher Education Act of 1965 are a continuation of
  4 33 the comparable programs authorized by the Higher Education
  4 34 Facilities Act of 1963.  References to the Higher Education
  4 35 Facilities Act of 1963 are therefore struck in the bill.
  5  1 Language referring to the annual federal EEO-6 report is
  5  2 likewise struck as it is no longer required by the federal
  5  3 government, though other federal reports are required.
  5  4    The bill also makes clear that an "accredited private
  5  5 institution", as defined in the Code, is an institution of
  5  6 higher learning that meets at least one of the three specific
  5  7 criteria in the Code relating to accreditation and
  5  8 certification, and all of the criteria relating to equal
  5  9 opportunity and affirmative action efforts, a controlled
  5 10 substances policy, a sexual abuse policy, and the filing of
  5 11 the federal Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act
  5 12 report with the division of criminal and juvenile justice
  5 13 planning of the department of human rights.
  5 14    The bill also provides that interest will begin to accrue
  5 15 on a loan issued to a student under the osteopathic physician
  5 16 recruitment program on the day after the student graduates.
  5 17 Currently, the Code provides that the interest will not accrue
  5 18 until after the student completes a residency program.
  5 19    Finally, the Code currently requires the institutions of
  5 20 higher education that enroll recipients of Iowa tuition grants
  5 21 to transmit to the commission information about the numbers of
  5 22 minority students enrolled, minority faculty members employed,
  5 23 and existing or proposed plans for the recruitment and
  5 24 retention of minority students and faculty, along with plans
  5 25 to serve nontraditional students.  The commission is required
  5 26 to compile and report the information and plans to the
  5 27 chairpersons and ranking members of the house and senate
  5 28 education committees, members of the joint education
  5 29 appropriations subcommittee, the governor, and the legislative
  5 30 fiscal bureau by December 15 of each year.  This bill pushes
  5 31 that reporting date to March 1.
