Budget Function: Revenue Sharing and General Purpose Fiscal Assistance: Other General Purpose Fiscal Assistance (852). Organization Concerned: District of Columbia; University of the District of Columbia. Congressional Relevance: Senate Committee on appropriations: District of Columbia Subcommittee. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy. Representatives of the University cf the District of Columbia are convinced of the necessity for too campuses because further expansion is not practical at the Van less campus. They also asserted that it is essential for students attending the Colleges of Liberal and Fine Arts and Business and Public Management to have access to cultural resources, government agencies, and the business community in the downtown area. Greater emphasis will be placed on the graduate program, and officials felt that, with increased effort and new programs, a higher percentage of graduate students will be achieved. Preliminary results of a telephone survey were used to demonstrate that there is a sizable number of potential new enrollees in the city, and it was estimated that the university could attain an enrollment ranging from 12,000 to 22,000 full-time equivalent students. Since uncertainty exists regarding future enrollments, further facility development activity should be deferred pending completion of the universityls master p'lan and reevaluation of its enrollment prospects. in prepar:Lng its master plan, the university should demonstrate that its proposed construction program cannot be modified to include renovation of existing owned facilities and provide for construction of new facilities at the Nount Vernon Square campus tailored to meet enrollment requirements not met by the Van Ness campus or existing facilities.
