House Votes to Narrow Technology Gap
A bill, H.R.694, that would pump money into technology upgrades at colleges serving minority students was passed by the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
The legislation would create a grant program at the Department of Commerce to help minority-serving institutions install wireless networks and other information-technology applications. A total of $250-million would be provided in 2008 for those colleges.
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation approved a similar bill in June, which would establish a grant program at the National Science Foundation. —Andrea L. Foster
