Allegations of University Abuses of Overhead System Continue as House Panel Releases a New List of Embarrassing Items.

Cordes, Colleen

Chronicle of Higher Education, v37 n35 pA18-19,23 May 15 1991

Proposals for reform include a federal upper limit on overhead rates and a fixed institutional overhead rate charged to any sponsor. Concern continues over repayment to the government of previous wrongful collections by universities. (MSE)
