Approved as
amended by ED's memoranda to OMB. In addition: 1) ED has agreed to
report on the final selection of sites, with a report on the
reasons for those selections based on the survey data, prior to
implementation of the case studies. 2) ED shall make comparisons
only against IPEDS data as a whole, since to select comparison
institutions would introduce additional and unmeasured uncertainty
into any comparative analyses. 3) ED will ensure that the
development of performance standards and measures for Title III are
fully integrated and coordinated with the design and results of
this study.
