under sub-section 8 (1) to the State in which the University is situated, in
respect of the year 1977-
(a) an amount equal to the sum of $8,917 and the amount ascertained by
multiplying $139.10 by the prescribed number of students in relation to that
hall of residence; or
(b) an amount ascertained by multiplying $315.06 by the prescribed number
of
students in relation to that hall of residence,
whichever is the lesser amount.
2. In relation to each residential college of a University, there is
payable
under sub-section 8 (1) to the State in which the University is situated an
amount ascertained by multiplying the basic grant in respect of that college
by
the prescribed number of students in relation to that college.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, the basic grant in respect of a
residential college is-
(a) if the prescribed number of students in relation to that college is
less
than 50-$315.06;
(b) if the prescribed number of students in relation to that college
is more
than 49 but less than 75-$315.06 reduced by $2.38 for each student by
which the
prescribed number of students exceeds 50;
(c) if the prescribed number of students in relation to that college
is more
than 74 but less than 100-$255.61 reduced by $1.19 for each student by
which the
prescribed number of students exceeds 75; and
(d) if the prescribed number of students in relation to that college
is more
than 99-$225.89 reduced by $0.19 for each student by which the
prescribed number
of students exceeds 100.
4. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, the prescribed number of
students
in relation to a hall of residence or residential college shall be
ascertained,
subject to paragraph 5, by adding-
(a) the number of resident full-time undergraduate students at that hall
of
residence or residential college;
(b) one-half of the number of resident full-time post-graduate
students at
that hall of residence or residential college; and
(c) one-tenth of the number of non-resident students receiving
tutorial
assistance at that hall of residence or residential college.
5. Where, but for this paragraph, the prescribed number of students
in
relation to a hall of residence or residential college ascertained in
accordance
with paragraph 4 would include a fraction, the prescribed number of students
is-
(a) if the fraction is not less than one-half-one more than the number so
ascertained, disregarding the fraction; or
(b) in any other case-the number so ascertained, disregarding the
fraction.
6. Where a hall of residence or residential college or a part of such
a hall
or college was not in use during the whole of the academic year comprised in
the
year 1977, the Commission may determine that an amount payable under
sub-section
8 (1) in respect of that year in relation to that hall or college shall be
such
part only of the amount that would otherwise be payable as the Commission
thinks
appropriate.
