(3)in order to be competitive and provide a high-quality education for all, institutions of higher education should improve their technological capacity and make effective use of technology; ####
(4)the title III program prior to 1985 did not always meet the specific development needs of historically Black colleges and universities and other institutions with large concentrations of minority, low-income students; ####
