The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in upstate New York subsequently agreed to host NTID. The Education Department assumed responsibility in fiscal year 1980 for administering the agreement with RIT and for overseeing NTID. GAO found that NTID has done a poor job of accounting for how it has spent federal funds, has inappropriately carried over federal funds from one year to the next, and may have used federal funds improperly. Although NTID is not under the same restrictions that federal agencies and grantees must abide by when using federal funds, some NTID expenditures did not directly relate to NTID operations. Education Department and NTID officials believe that NTID's dependence on federal dollars will continue at its present level of 83 percent of total revenues despite program changes that have occurred. Review of NTID has been minimal. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-HRD-94-23/html/GAOREPORTS-HRD-94-23.htm GAO/HRD-94-23 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-HRD-94-23 Letter Report GAO/HRD-94-23; Deaf Education: Improved Oversight Needed for National Technical Institute for the Deaf; Educational programs Aid for education Handicapped persons Education or training Higher education Special education Federal funds Accounting procedures Federal fund accounts Budget outlays National Technical Institute for the Deaf Strategic Plan
