(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
the Governor-in-Council's decision on 2 September 1980 that the student targets for the Universities should be based on 4% annual growth for 1981-84, and that planning for 1984-87 should assume the same growth rate pending a review of post-secondary and technical educations;
the current backlog of building programmes;
the acceptable level of capital expenditure on new
projects indicated by Government during the March 1980 visit;
the fact that planning of capital programmes has changed from a triennial to an annual basis, which
enables the Committee to review and monitor building
programmes more closely.
