BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January 11

institution has followed certain prescribed "due diligence" collection procedures. T h e Board of Trustees has approved such assignments several times over the last few years. This year, if the assignment is made prior to February 15, 1991, an institution can better its default ratio and enhance its eligibility for additional Federal capital contributions for 1991-92. T h e funds in question are held in trust by the University and loaned to students in accord with criteria established by the Federal government. They consist of Federal capital contributions plus institutional capital contributions equal to one-ninth of the Federal contributions. Collections and earnings are added to the funds and the expenses of the program are credited. Under the law, the loan and the interest are cancelled in case of death or permanent and total disability. To assist institutions in reducing their current default rates, the Federal government has agreed to accept the assignment of notes which have been in default for two or more years if the due diligence collection efforts have taken place. Loans assigned to the Federal government will not be counted in determining the University's default rate but the government will retain any funds it may recover. T h e value, in terms of increased eligibility for Federal student loan support, is greater than the net recovery anticipated from the University's continued efforts at collection. T h e net assets of the loan fund will remain in excess of the University contribution to the fund. T h e vice president for business and finance has recommended the assignment of defaulted Perkins loans on which reasonable collection efforts have been made by the University in the following maximum amounts: Chicago campus Urbana-Champaign campus I recommend approval. $50 000 (40 borrowers) 85 000 (51 borrowers)
