New York State Tuesday rejected an amendment authorizing state underwriting of loans to public and private colleges.
The amendment would have made New York liable for five million dollars borrowed by the state College Buildings Authority. The authority would then have lent the funds to colleges for the construction of dormitories and academic buildings. The money will now have to be borrowed at a higher rate of interest.
Religious as well as non-sectarian institutions could have taken advantage of the state guarantees. Roman Catholics had been advised in their churches to vote in favor of the amendment, according to the New York Times.
