Title VI-A provides matching federal funds for the purchase of college and university laboratory and audiovisual equipment, closed-circuit television equipment and classroom materials related to the improvement of undergraduate education. This report presents case studies of 12 institutions which obtained Title VI-A funds in the past 4 years. The projects selected represent a cross-section of all types of projects funded, different types of institutional control, lengths of undergraduate program, project subject area, and project magnitude. Both public and private, 2-year and 4-year institutions were selected. The applications cover requisitions for the humanities, physical, social, and biological sciences, campus-wide programs, and closed-circuit television. Federal shares ranged from $1,006 to $49,715. Along with a description of each project, responses to a survey conducted at each institution are discussed. The survey covered: impact of the project, cost, space and time factors, student and faculty reactions, state agency assistance in planning, and ancillary outcomes. (JS)
