COLLEGES SEEK EXEMPTION FROM PROPOSED FUNDRAISING REGULATION\n\nThe National Association of Attorneys General(NAAG)has urged its members towork in their home states for the passage of laws requiring fundr aising organí-zations,including private schools and colleges,to register and file annualfinancial statements.  \nThe education community had sought to include an exemption for education insti-tutions in the \"model law\"endor sed recently at NAAG's annual meeting.Schoolsand colleges\"are not part of the problem\"the law would address,and it wouldimpose a serious administrative burden on some,said Eric Wentworth,vice pres-ident for governmental relations for the Council for the Advancement and Sup-port of Education(CASE)。  \nThe model law would require charitable organizations to file annual statementsand financial reports in each state where they solicit donations,and mightalso require a registration fee。Organizations would have to disclose thenames of their officers,how contributions were to be used and whether theorganization's registration was ever revoked.Fundraisers also would have tofile coples of their charters and bylaws and an annual balance sheet showingtheir fundraising income and expenses.  \nMonitoring Problem For CollegesBecause that procedure would have to be  \nfollowed separ ately in each state with a fundralsing law,colleges \"with alumniscattered all over the country\"would have a monitoring problem,Wentworthsaid.\"As we understand it,to solicit any of those alumni or parents instates where the law is enacted,the college would have to register in thatstate.\"An institution might have to register before an officer even couldspeak about fundraising in those states,he added.  \nThe model law's purpose is to force charities to disclose how much of theirdonations goes to further charitable pur poses and how much ends up in the pock-ets of professional fundraisers,said David Ormstead,an assistant attorneygeneral in Connecticut who headed the NAAG committee that drafted the proposal.  \nThe type of fraud NAAG is trying to address is per petrated mostly by profes-sional solicitors,Ormstead said.\"The problems associated with these [firms]are out of control,\"he said,and have increased since the U.S.Supreme Courtstruck down a Maryland law limiting the percentage of donations charities canspend on expenses.  \nThat 1984 decision,which said the restrictions violated charities'free speechrights,invalidated most of the 38 state fundr aising statutes on the books,Ormstead said.(more)  \n# COLLEGES SEEK EXEMPTION FROM PROPOSED FUNDRAISING REGULATION(Cont.)\n\n\"We wanted provisions that were workable and constitutional and would affordthe potential donor the opportunity to make a more informed giving choice,\"hesaid.Widespread passage of the model law would also\"achieve some degree ofuniformity”in states'treatment of fundraising,he added.  \nWentworth argues that education institutions traditionally have been exemptfrom fundraising regulations and have not \"historically had the problems [NAAG]is aiming to protect people from。\"Additionally,he said,schools and collegestraditionally limit solicitations to people who are already famlliar with theinstitutions--alumni,parents,staff and \"friends\"who have donated in thepast.  \nS  \nDonor's Right To Know\"You can argue.that the donor to a college has asmuch right to know how the foundation is spending its money\"as do donors toother charities,Ormstead countered.  \nNAAG declined to include an education exemption in its model law.However,theresolution endorsing it included a statement that “educational institutionshave traditionally been exempt from registration and reporting requirements;there have been few abuses resulting from this exemption;as a result,it isthe sense of the resolution that each state should individually consider whe-ther such institutions should continue to be exempted from the[model]act'srequirements.\"  \nA decision was made early on to avoid encumbering the model law with
