House Votes 315-98 to Widen Scope of Anti-Bias Laws at Institutions that Receive Federal Funds.

Leatherman, Courtney

Chronicle of Higher Education, v34 n26 pA1,26 Mar 9 1988

A new bill specifically states that an entire institution is covered by antidiscrimination laws if it receives any federal support. The bill was designed to counteract the effects of a 1984 Supreme Court decision involving Grove City College, and it applies to sex, age, disability, and racial discrimination laws. (MSE)
